Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

When communicating with infants and toddlers whose language skills are not well developed, the nurse may rely more on the child's nonverbal communication. When speaking with the child, the nurse should use developmentally appropriate language. The nurse should talk with the toddler, including the parents as necessary for complete evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Power-coercive is based on the application of power from a legitimate source; there is minimal participation by target members, and resistance may occur and morale may decrease. With empirical-rational, influence moves from those with knowledge to those without; it is a noncoercive model. Mandatory education refers to the educational change strategies; this change strategy provides a relatively unbiased presentation of fact that is intended to serve as a rational justification for the planned action. Normative-reeducative recognizes that change must deal with feelings, values, and needs; this model is partially participative and democratic.
