Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Children who are blind often want to be told what is on their food tray when it is first presented to them. Name the foods so they can identify tastes with names as well as location of foods on the plate. The child needs to know what is on the meal try and should not be expected to call for help. Children with vision disorders have difficulty getting food from spoons or forks to their mouths neatly. However, they should not be spoon-fed just because it is neater and faster; eating is an important self-care skill a blind child must learn in order to be independent as an adult. The nurse needs to do more than cut the child's meat. The child has no way of knowing where any of the food is located on the tray.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
School nurses work to remove or minimize health barriers to learning to give students the best opportunity for academic success. Coordinating school health programs, linking community health programs, and promoting health and safety are individual components within the ultimate goal of removing or minimizing health barriers.
