Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale:
1. Parental participation prepares the family for care that will be required when the child goes home. The child benefits greatly from parental presence and participation. The child experiences reduced emotional distress and anxiety if the parents are present.
2. The child is not more likely to act out during procedures when the parent is present.
3. The child will be comforted, not embarrassed, by the parent's presence during the procedure.
4. Unless the child is old enough to make this request personally, this assumption cannot be made.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The sex of the nurse has not been shown to be a source of stress.
Rationale 2: Staffing patterns will not allow patient one-to-one nurse to patient ratio on the regular pediatric unit.
Rationale 3: This change has been shown to reduce stress in children.
Rationale 4: Nurses should visit when not performing procedures to allow the children to become familiar and comfortable with the nurses.
Global Rationale:
