Answer to Question 1

B
The vocabulary to classify the depth of burn is superficial, partial thickness, or full thickness. These terms refer to the effect of the burn injury. For example, is there a reaction in the area of the burn (localized) or throughout the body (systemic)? Electrical, chemical, or thermal are terms that refer to the cause of the burn injury. Minor, moderate, or major are terms that refer to the severity of the burn injury.

Answer to Question 2

D
The nurse can focus on the behavior most effectively by using I rather than you messages. A you message criticizes the child and uses guilt in an attempt to change behavior. Banning the child from the playroom will not solve the problem. The problem is the child's behavior, not the place where the child exhibits it. Illness is not a reason for a child to be undisciplined. When the child recovers, the parents will have to deal with a child who is undisciplined and unruly. The child should not be made to feel guilty and to have his or her self-esteem attacked.
