Answer to Question 1
ANS: A
Despite the advances in body image development, preschoolers have poorly defined body boundaries and little knowledge of their internal anatomy. Intrusive experiences are frightening, especially those that disrupt the integrity of the skin (e.g., injections and surgery). They fear that all their blood and insides can leak out if the skin is broken. Therefore, preschoolers may believe it is critical to use bandages after an injury. The nurse should place a Band-Aid over the site.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: D
Preschoolers are able to work through many of their unresolved fears, fantasies, and anxieties through play, especially if guided with appropriate play objects (e.g., dolls or puppets) that represent family members, health professionals, and other children. The fears should not be ignored because they may escalate. Preschoolers are not cognitively prepared for explanations about the fears. They gain security and comfort from familiar objects such as toys, dolls, or photographs of family members, so new toys should not be introduced.
