Answer to Question 1

B
The major fear of infants during illness and hospitalization are separation from caregivers and fear of strangers. Bodily injury and pain are fears of preschool and school-age children. Loss of control is a fear of children from the preschool period through adolescence. Altered body image applies to adolescents. Fear of the unknown and being left alone are applicable to preschoolers.

Answer to Question 2

A
The primary concern of all parents of dying children is the possibility of their child feeling pain. Although safety, eating, and hydration are important, they are not the priority concern.
