Answer to Question 1

C
Patients need to be repositioned every 2 hours to reduce stagnation of secretions. An application of an abdominal binder will restrict chest expansion. Patients need a minimum of 2000 mL every day to adequately hydrate and keep pulmonary secretions thin, watery, and clear.

Answer to Question 2

C
Toddlers require naps. Some enjoy bedtime snacks, whereas others cannot sleep after eating. Maintain the child's home routine, which may include snacks, reading stories, sitting in the par-ent's lap while listening to music or prayer, or coloring in books.
