Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale:
1. The mother is in the anger stage of grief, and it is not reflective of the nursing care.
2. This is not evident in the question.
3. This is not evident in the question
4. Anger is the first stage of the grief process, and can be applied in this instance to the mother's loss of a normal child and potential death.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: An 18-month-old is not usually able to speak in sentences. This is a skill to be accomplished by the age of two-and-a-half years.

Rationale 3: A two-year-old is not expected to be able to recite a phone number.
