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.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
