The nurse tells the caregivers of a 5-year-old patient that the patient will be discharged at lunch time. At 12:00 noon, the family is not present, but does come in at 2:00 p.m. The caregivers are wondering why the nurse thinks that they are late.
 
  This could be attributed to: 1. Lack of discharge paper processing.
   2. Cultural differences in lunch time.
   3. The caregivers believing that the child is being watched adequately.
   4. The nurse being busy and losing track of time.

Question 2

  1. Pain after internal rotation of a flexed thigh.
   2. Rebound pain on the left quadrant.
   3. A high fever.
   4. Acute pain episodes for 3 to 4 days in a row.
