Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. By placing the child on a school schedule in advance, the child will become increasingly familiar with the routine, which will likely make the adjustment easier.
B Incorrect. Having an older child tell the preschooler about the schedule would not be as effective as if the child experienced it.
C Incorrect. Reviewing the expectations and rules of school may increase anxiety.
D Incorrect. Providing a child with a book would not effectively prepare a preschooler for the first day of classes.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. Thyroid hormone is vital to the growing, developing central nervous system. A delay in treatment is associated with lower mean intelligence quotients (IQ).
B Incorrect. The nurse will not encourage the parents to agree to treatment of hypothyroidism as soon as possible to avoid any change of mind on their part.
C Incorrect. The nurse will not encourage the parents to agree to treatment of hypothyroidism as soon as possible because the problem is more difficult to correct as the child gets older, instead the brain damage is permanent and irreversible.
D Incorrect. The nurse will not encourage the parents to agree to treatment of hypothyroidism as soon as possible to avoid larger bills.
