Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Toddlers are scared of procedures. To decrease the fear, children should be actively involved. Asking the child if he or she wants to see the flashlight would be most appropriate, as it engages the child in an activity. The nurse telling the child not to get scared in fact teaches the child to fear the hurt, and therefore it is inappropriate. Postponing the procedure is also inappropriate. The nurse should not tell the child to sit still and the procedure will soon be completed, because it disregards the child's feelings.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Manual traction is used to realign a broken bone or replace a dislocated bone into its original position within a joint. Electric traction is done by using alternating current and direct current. Skin traction is a pulling effect on the skeletal system done by applying devices. Skeletal traction is the pull exerted directly on the skeletal system by attaching wires, pins, or tongs into or through a bone.
