Answer to Question 1

3
Feedback
1. Regular checkups are needed in order to monitor development.
2. The child may not show pain.
3. The child can breastfeed and is encouraged to, but not for as long as the mother would like.
4. Early interventions will allow for a proactive approach for the child.

Answer to Question 2

2
Feedback
1. Caregiver fatigue is the correct answer. Boredom is not a proper diagnostic description.
2. Caregiver fatigue should be assessed for any caregiver with a chronically ill child. Resources should be made available to them.
3. Post-traumatic stress disorder is diagnosed after a severe psychological stressor has occurred. The care of a chronically ill child is unlikely to result in this diagnosis.
4. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is not associated with caring for a chronically ill child. This is a physiologic condition.
