Answer to Question 1

A
Parents should be encouraged to bring their children to a preoperative class and tour. This reduces stress on both parent and child. Parents should tell the child a few days in advance to give the child time to prepare. Not informing the child before the event will diminish trust. Telling children that they will be put to sleep may frighten them, since this is a phrase often used to explain death of a pet. The nurse should explain procedures to the parents and the child.

Answer to Question 2

B
