Answer to Question 1

Pain, pallor, pulselessness, paresthesia, and paralysis
Compartment syndrome can occur as a result of pressure on tissues resulting from edema or swelling. This pressure compromises the circulation and results in pain, pallor, pulselessness, paresthesia, and paralysis distal to the swelling. This is a medical emergency.

Answer to Question 2

C
Parents occasionally need to take a break. Do not encourage the parents to sneak out. This will damage the trust relationship and further traumatize the child. The nurse should provide comfort while the parents are gone.
