Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Assessment of compliance must include direct measurement techniques. Pill counts, chemical assays, direct observation, and monitoring therapeutic response are direct measurement techniques. Third-party reporting would not always be available and would not be a method to measure compliance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Nurses who approach children with confidence and who convey the impression that they expect to be successful are less likely to encounter difficulty. It is best to approach a child as though cooperation is expected. The medication should not be placed in a favorite liquid or food. Allowing the child time to express resistance will delay administration of the medication.
