Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Play is important to all children in all environments. Play for children is a
mechanism for mastering their environment.
B Although children's play activities appear to be unorganized and at times
chaotic, play has purpose and meaning. Imposing structure on play interferes
with the tasks being worked on.
C Play for all children is an activity woven with meaning and purpose. For
chronically ill children, play can indicate their state of wellness and response to
treatment. It is a way to express joy, fear, anxiety, and disappointments.
D Children who have fewer energy reserves still require play. For these children,
less-active play activities will be important.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Mild-to-moderate exercise during pregnancy is healthy for moms and babies. The increased stamina that correlates with physical fitness can help decrease fatigue in pregnancy, but the second trimester will bring fatigue, as fetal metabolism creates demands on the maternal system.
2. The age of 38 is not too old to begin an exercise routine, but during pregnancy, a client should not begin a new type of extremely strenuous or high-impact activity. Caffeine intake should be restricted during pregnancy.
3. Mild-to-moderate exercise during pregnancy is healthy for moms and babies.
4. During pregnancy, a client should not begin a new type of extremely strenuous or high-impact activity.
