Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
As part of the discharge plan for a medically fragile child, the nurse would encourage active caregiving by the parents to help them increase their self-confidence in the child's care. Assisting with referrals, arranging for equipment and supplies, and determining the adequacy of the home environment are important aspects of the discharge plan.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The parents have heard the instructions for the antibiotic administration incorrectly. The trimethoprimsulfame thoxazole should be administered twice daily for 3 consecutive days each week to prevent Pneumocystis pneumoniae. The parents understand to avoid rectal temperatures and crowds, and to maintain his hygiene meticulously.
