Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Behaviorism promotes positive feedback to support positive changes in behavior. Discussing techniques for obtaining blood and explaining the use of insulin by the body are examples of cognitivism. Encouraging the client to learn for himself demonstrates humanism.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,5
Rationale: Elevating the head, applying heat to the sore ear in the form of the parent's body heat, and administering analgesics will help to reduce the discomfort the child experiences until the ear infection subsides. Ear infections are often viral in origin, so aspirin is contraindicated due to the risk of Reye's syndrome. Alternating ibuprofen and acetaminophen has resulted in many children overdosing on analgesics, and is a dangerous practice.
