Answer to Question 1

C
School-age children are developmentally ready to accept detailed explanations. They can select their own menus and become actively involved in other areas of their care. Toddlers need routine and parent involvement for coping. Preschoolers need simple explanations of procedures. Detailed explanations and support of peers help adolescents cope.

Answer to Question 2

A
Age-appropriate play for a toddler to enhance deep breathing would be blowing bubbles. Throwing a Nerf ball would not enhance deep breathing. Using a spirometer and keeping a chart of deep breathing are more appropriate for a school-age child.
