Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 5, 6
Strategies to help a preoperative pediatric client feel less anxious prior to a surgical procedure include taking the client on a tour of the operating room, allowing the client to bring a toy or stuffed animal, allowing the parents to stay with the client as much as possible, using age-appropriate explanations, and responding to questions in a straightforward manner. Having a chaplain say a prayer with the child is good, but it may not be age appropriate.

Common health problems associated with chronic pain include osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and chronic pulmonary disease. Heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and anemia are not associated with chronic pain.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
