Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Having the child spend time with a child or other children who have been clients in this hospital would not be the most helpful activity for the school-aged child.
B Correct. For planned admissions for children over age 7 years, a few weeks before hospitalization or surgery is fine. Through tours, use of puppets, medical play, children's literature, and audiovisual media, children learn about the experience and their role in the recovery process. Whenever possible, you will let them handle equipment such as an IV fluid bag, tubing, and blood pressure equipment.
C Incorrect. Showing the child a movie about the hospital would not be the most helpful activity for the school-aged child.
D Incorrect. Having the child draw pictures of the upcoming hospitalization would not be the most helpful activity for the school-aged child.

Answer to Question 2

A, B
Infants with hydrocephalus exhibit bulging fontanels, widened cranial sutures, a shiny scalp with dilated veins, and poor muscle tone. Appetite is poor, and there is frequent vomiting. The eyes are deviated downward (setting sun eyes).
