Answer to Question 1

A
Children at this age are not able to think in terms of operations or logically relate events to each other. Children believe in magical powers and base their reasoning on what they can see and hear.

1. A diet that is low in sodium is needed.
2. Close monitoring of fluid intake is needed because the heart can easily become overloaded with fluid.
