Answer to Question 1

B
The child has imaginative thoughts at this stage of growth and development. The child may believe that an illness occurred as a result of some personal deed or thought or perhaps because he touched something or someone. Preschoolers do not have the cognitive ability to connect mutilation to death and do not have a sound understanding of body integrity. The preschooler fears all types of intrusive procedures whether undergoing a simple procedure such as an IV start or something more invasive such as surgery.

Answer to Question 2

B, D, E
Speak clearly and at a slightly slower speed than normal. Do not speak loudly. Eliminate background noise so the child can focus on what is being said. Use visual aids to assist communication.
