D
Feedback
A Providing consistent caregivers is most applicable for the very young child, such
as the neonate and infant.
B Placing a cover over the child's crib may increase feelings of loss of control.
C Parents are encouraged, rather than expected, to stay with the child during
hospitalization.
D Familiar rituals and routines are important to toddlers and give the child a sense
of control. Following the child's usual routines during hospitalization minimizes
feelings of loss of control.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
Feedback
Correct These are all valid reasons for the teen to delay seeking prenatal care. An
adolescent often has little to no understanding of the increased physiologic
needs that a pregnancy places on her body. Once care is sought, it is often
sporadic and many appointments are missed. The nurse should formulate a
diagnosis that assists the pregnant teen to receive adequate prenatal care.
Incorrect The opposite is true. Planning for her pregnancy and impending birth
actually provides some sense of control for the teen and increases feelings
of competency. Receiving praise from the nurse when she attends her
prenatal appointments will reinforce the young woman's positive
self-image.
