Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Expectations for the child must be reasonable. The child might or might not learn to tie his shoes, and the time it takes to learn will vary with individual children. However, it is possible for the child to attempt to tie his shoes, and this would be expecting behavior that is possible.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The nurse's priority is to time the seizure, because the provider will want to know how long it lasted and what occurred during the seizure. The nurse will carefully document what was observed, the length of time the seizure continued, and the client's condition after the seizure subsided. It is not safe to restrain the client to obtain vital signs during the seizure, and placement of a blanket would be futile because it would be kicked off by the clonic tonic movements. The nurse will not complete the bath but will change the plan of care based on the change in the client's status.
