Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The nurse should reassure the parents when appropriate that their child's hospitalization is indeed frightening and it is all right to be scared. The nurse should remember to demonstrate interest in the client as a person and to use listening responses to create an atmosphere of concern. The nurse should keep the parents continually informed regarding their child's progress. The nurse should avoid communication blocks, such as giving false reassurance, telling the client what to do, or ignoring the concerns; such behavior effectively cuts off therapeutic communication.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Guidelines for developing a workable limit-setting plan include having consequences that are applied in a matter-of-fact manner, without lengthy discussion, are logical and fit the situation, and occur immediately following the transgression.
