Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Sleep requirements decrease during school-age years; 5-year-old children generally require 11.5 hours of sleep.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
When nurses present sexual information to children, they should treat sex as a normal part of growth and development. Nurses should answer questions honestly, matter-of-factly, and at the children's level of understanding. School-age children may be more comfortable when boys and girls are segregated for discussions.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
