Answer to Question 1

D
It is easy to wake a sleeper in stage 1 sleep. Fifty percent of normal adults sleep in stage 2 . In stage 3 to 4 sleep, most sleepwalking, sleeptalking, enuresis, and night terrors occur. The majority of growth hormone is secreted at night, peaking during stage 3 to 4 sleep near the beginning of a sleep period.

Answer to Question 2

1. Arranging for educators to begin helping the child catch up with school work.

Rationale:
The child who faces long-term hospitalization will fall behind in school, and the involvement of educators is very important as soon as the child feels well enough to begin doing schoolwork in order to prevent the child from being held back a grade upon recovery. Further, school is a normal part of the child's life, so arranging for the continuation of education helps to maintain a sense of normalcy. Games and diversions may be provided in addition, but that is not the priority. Preparation for discharge begins at admission, so this should already be started. Whether or not the parents are experiencing caregiver role strain is not known as no information has been provided about how they are coping.
