Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale:

1. The nurse must consider the educational level, but regardless of this level, the parents will still be unable to learn if their stress is uncontrolled.
2. Socioeconomic status is important to consider, but the level of stress is even more important.
3. All of the above factors are important in designing a teaching plan, but the factor with the greatest impact on the parents' level of comprehension would be the level of stress that they are experiencing.
4. Prior medical experience is important, but the parent's stress level will determine their readiness to learn.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. The pediatric client with a chronic or acute condition that does not directly affect the GI or electrolyte system is at a lower risk than is a toddler with a condition that increases insensible water loss.
2. The pediatric client with the greatest risk is under 2 years of age and with a condition that increases insensible fluid loss.
3. The pediatric client with an acute condition that does not directly affect electrolytes is at a lower risk than is a client with a condition that increases insensible water loss.
4. The pediatric client with an acute condition, such as a patient with cellulitis that does not affect the GI or electrolyte system, is at a lower risk than is a toddler with a condition that increases insensible water loss.
