Answer to Question 1

B
If left untreated, sleep apnea can result in hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, right-sided congestive heart failure, cerebral vascular accident, cognitive dysfunction, or death.

Answer to Question 2

4. Remind the child that he did nothing wrong.

Rationale:
The priority nursing consideration regarding the abused child is to ensure the immediate safety of the child. Beyond that, the abused child needs to be encouraged to talk about the abuse but must also be protected from having to provide multiple reports. The nurse working with the abused child needs to say that he or she believes the child's story; the nurse also must reassure the child that he or she has done nothing wrong. The nurse should avoid making negative comments about the abuser and must follow established protocols for mandatory reporting, documentation, and use of available support services.
