Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Children are unable to obtain deep sleep when experiencing acute pain.
Rationale 2: When experiencing acute pain, children are less likely to cooperate with treatments.
Rationale 3: It is difficult for children to concentrate when experiencing acute pain.
Rationale 4: Young children in acute pain display a variety of behaviors, including loud crying, screaming, thrashing their arms and legs, lack of cooperation, clinging behavior, and restlessness and irritability.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Sending the nurse technician to a department that does not use latex products is not realistic because the nurse technician might experience exposure on another unit. (No hospital unit can be latex-free.)
2. When symptoms of sensitivity to latex occur on exposure, the employee health department of the facility should be contacted, and latex-free products should be supplied.
3. Waiting until Monday does not solve the problem.
4. Assigning the nurse technician nonclient care duties would not be possible.
