Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The child is scared about being hospitalized for the first time. The most appropriate nursing diagnosis would be fear related to being away from home for the first time. The child is being admitted, so anxiety related to pending hospitalization would not be appropriate. There is no enough information to support the child being at risk for social isolation. The child is not asking for information about the illness so the diagnosis regarding health-seeking behavior is not applicable at this time.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Hospitalization is a stressful event to children. There are specific 2020 National Health Goals to address stress in hospitalized children. Nurses can help the nation achieve these goals by helping reduce the stress of hospitalization or health care and hospitalization so families use preventive services to help children stay well rather than totally use emergent or ill child care services. The nurses should provide a checklist of preventive services needed by children to prevent hospitalizations. Location of the cafeteria, where to park, and visiting hours will not reduce the stress of hospitalized children.
