B
Feedback

shift, so the parents need to be able to identify the nurses who are working on the
unit.
B Infants should be transported in the hallways only in their cribs.
C This will be difficult to monitor and will limit the mother's support system from
visiting.
D Infants need to spend time with the parents to facilitate the bonding process.

Feedback

procedures and health information. By not responding, the nurse may be limiting
communication with the child.

occurring.
C School-age children require explanations and reasons for everything. They are
interested in the functional aspect of all procedures, objects, and activities. It is

to the child.

then observe during the procedure.
