Answer to Question 1

A
Response:
Family-centered care requires that the nurse provide open and honest information to the child and family. It is inappropriate to soften unpleasant information or prognoses. Evaluating and changing the nursing plan of care to fit the needs of the child and family, collaborating with them as equals, and showing respect for their beliefs and wishes are guidelines for family-centered care.

Answer to Question 2

D
Response:
Thought stopping is a technique that involves the use of short, concise phrases of positive ideas. Using this technique promotes the child's sense of control. Imagining a favorite beach in Florida is using imagery. Talking about a favorite funny movie involves humor. Letting body parts go limp is a relaxation technique
