Answer to Question 1

A
Children with spina bifida are at high risk for developing latex allergies because of frequent exposure to latex during catheterizations, shunt placements, and other operations. The child with spina bifida does not have a risk for bleeding. Not all children with spina bifida are at risk for seizures and isolation would not be indicated in a child being admitted for a shunt revision.

Answer to Question 2

A
To reduce fear and enhance cooperation during the MRI, the child should be made aware that his head will be restricted to obtain accurate information. Drinking fluids is usually done for gastrointestinal procedures. A child would lie flat after a lumbar puncture, not during an MRI. Electrodes are attached to the head for an electroencephalogra m.
