Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Ego is the reality tester. Laughing at oneself shows that the patient can compare his own foolish behavior to the norm.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Rapid respirations predispose to aspiration. The child is kept hydrated with IV fluids, but this is not the reason that the child must be kept NPO.
