Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The implantable cardioverterdefibri llator provides nonpharmacological management of atrial flutter to maintain normal sinus rhythm. Surgical intervention with a new mitral valve will not prevent atrial flutter. Exercise and potassium intake will ensure NSR.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
IM injections are frightening for older children, and they need praise and encouragement. Fear is a far more likely cause of this child's behavior than confusion or ineffective coping. There is risk for injury associated with IM injections, but the nurse can mitigate this risk through proper technique.
