Answer to Question 1

D
A stereotype is a generalization about a form of behavior, an individual, or a group.

Answer to Question 2

B
Standing at the bedside looking down at the patient in the bed places the nurse in a position of authority and control. The patient is likely to experience this as intimidating and condescending. Whenever possible, the nurse should be level with the patient; this is especially important with pediatric patients. Sitting at the bedside in a relaxed and open posture is one example.
