  3. Children need to go to funerals to help them get over loss.
  4. Children get over loss best by going to therapy.

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Allowing children to make decisions about participating in funerals will help them process the event.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The priority for assessment is the respiratory system because this is the source of the client's distress. Minimizing position changes would not be a consideration, because movement is very important for the client with pulmonary edema in order to promote reabsorption of fluid and reduce the risk of infection. Performing a head-to-toe or cardiac assessment would delay data collection on the priority system. The LPN/LVN would perform a focused assessment of the respiratory system and report findings to the RN before continuing to collect other data.
