Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The nurse stating I know this is a stressful time is a therapeutic way of being empathetic while still ensuring that they know their child can hear them arguing.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, D
Children's temperaments may be categorized into three major groups: easy, difficult, and slow to warm up. Easy children are even-tempered and have regular biological functions, predictable behavior, and a positive attitude toward new experiences. Difficult children are irritable, overactive, and intense; they react to new experiences by withdrawing and are frustrated easily. Children in the slow-to-warm-up category are moody and less active and have more irregular reactions; they react to new experiences with mild but passive resistance and need extra time to adjust to new situations.
