Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Conducting interviews with extended family members would never be most productive in gaining an understanding of an adolescent's or a child's perceptions related to their illness and hospitalization.
B Correct. It is always helpful to have a separate interview with the child or adolescent in order to understand their perceptions related to illness and hospitalization.
C Incorrect. Reading the child's diary if the parents will provide it is an invasion of privacy that will never be appropriate, and if discovered by the adolescent, will destroy professional boundaries beyond repair.
D Incorrect. Having the child write a report for the nurse to read is not the equal for a two-way conversation of an interview one-on-one.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
The positioning of an infant prior to the repair of a myelomeningocele would focus on protecting the sac and preventing postural deformities. The baby should be placed in the prone position with a towel roll between the legs to maintain hip abduction and counteract hip subluxation, and another small roll to maintain a neutral foot position.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
