Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
When the toddler is hospitalized, growth and development may be altered. The toddler's primary task is establishing autonomy, and the toddler's focus is mobility and language development. The nurse caring for the hospitalized toddler must use knowledge of normal growth and development to be successful in interactions with the toddler, promote continued development, and recognize delays. Parents should be encouraged to stay with the toddler to avoid separation anxiety. Planning activities and socialization of the toddler is important, but the priority intervention is monitoring for, and addressing, developmental delays that may occur in the hospital.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
It is untrue that sleepwalkers should not be wakened. The child should be woken gently, be reoriented, and then returned to bed after reassurance of being safe. The child can be woken up. The child should not be shaken. The child should not be encouraged to play before going back to bed.
