Answer to Question 1

1
Feedback
1. The FICA tool assesses faith, importance, community, and addresses care needs within the care plan.
2. Information will be gathered, but should not be the basis of the history or the care.
3. The child should be allowed to have input.
4. The family will have an influence on the spiritual care of the child.

Answer to Question 2

3
Feedback
1. Because this is acute and only occasional vomiting, the child can be taken care of at home with close monitoring.
2. Soda has sodium and can contribute to the electrolyte imbalance.
3. Small amounts of fluids will decrease the urge to vomit because it is not filling the entire stomach, and the hydration will help the electrolytes find balance.
4. Waiting eight hours can further the dehydration and cause more issues with vomiting because the electrolyte imbalance is not being addressed.
