Answer to Question 1

A
The goals of theoretical knowledge are to stimulate thinking and create a broad understanding of the science and practice of the nursing discipline (King & Fawcett, 1997).
Guiding nursing curriculums and developing nursing education was much of the focus of early theorizing.
Understanding the person, environment, health, and nursing all relate to the metaparadigm con-cepts.
Understanding human behaviour, experience, nursing practice, and health systems are aspects of theoretical concepts.

Answer to Question 2

A
Straws may help children swallow pills. If it is a liquid iron preparation, the straw may help chil-dren, as they are less able to see the medication and may see drinking from a straw as desirable.
The child is to receive the medication orally. The oral route is preferred unless contraindicated.
The medication should not be mixed with water, as the child may refuse to drink all of the larger mixture, and water does not mask the flavour of the medication. Juice, a soft drink, or a frozen juice bar may be offered after a medication is swallowed.
Many 3-year-olds have difficulty swallowing pills, and liquid forms are safer to swallow to avoid aspiration.
