Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Nursing interventions during the preoperational period (ages 2 to 7 years) should recognize the use of play (such as handling equipment) to help the child understand the events taking place. The nurse should talk to the child about the procedure in terms the child can understand. Children at this stage have difficulty conceptualizing time; telling the child surgery is at 9:00 AM in the morning is inappropriate. Parents should be allowed in the room.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Nurses must understand that during hospitalization, a young adult's need for intimacy remains present; thus young adults benefit from the support of their partner or significant other during this time. Involvement of peers is priority for adolescents. Volunteer activities are priority for middle-aged adults. Consistent schedule is priority for infants and toddlers.
