Answer to Question 1

C
Medications cannot make enuresis go away. There is insufficient evidence to assume that the child has an emotional problem. The parents should not be criticized, because this is not a discipline problem. The nurse asks questions to discern the recent history of the event.

Answer to Question 2

2
18/2.2= 8.18 kg
8.18 kg x 150 calories= 1227 calories per day
Feedback
