Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,4
Rationale 1: Oral care will provide moisture to a dry mouth and increase the child's physical comfort.
Rationale 2: Opioids given for pain often cause constipation. Relief of constipation will increase the child's comfort.
Rationale 3: Offering and encouraging favorite foods and liquids as tolerated should be part of the physical care.
Rationale 4: Providing analgesia to promote optimal pain relief. Oral, transdermal, or rectal analgesia is available for families who choose to withhold intravenous fluids.
Rationale 5: Measuring vital signs will be intrusive, uncomfortable, and provide no benefit to the dying child.
