Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Immobilization causes a decreased metabolic rate with slowing of all systems and a decreased food intake, leads to hypercalcemia, and causes a negative nitrogen balance secondary to muscle atrophy. A decreased production of stress hormones occurs with decreased physical and emotional coping capacity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
To prevent the spread and reoccurrence of pediculosis, the nurse should teach the parents to dry-clean nonwashable items; boil combs and brushes for 10 minutes or soak for 1 hour in a pediculicide; and discourage the sharing of personal items, such as combs, hats, scarves and other headgear. Spraying with insecticide is not recommended because of the danger to children and animals. Nonwashable items should be sealed for 14 days in a plastic bag.
