A 7-year-old child has been diagnosed with glomerulonephritis, and is to be placed on bedrest at home until there is no longer any hematuria. The nurse recommends what activity to occupy this child?

1. Get a selection of picture books from the library each week.
2. Have the child select a favorite stuffed animal for comfort when the parents are busy.
3. Provide the child with safety scissors, magazines, paste, and paper so the child can make a scrapbook.
4. Have school friends visit for short periods of time each day so the children can play video games.

Question 2

1. Body Systems Model.
2. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
3. Wellness Model.
4. Neuman's System Model.

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The 7-year-old is industrious, and likes to make things or build things. Suggesting a project that the child can work on quietly over time is the best activity. Picture books are a little young for this child, as is a stuffed animal, and these do not appeal to the developmental task of a 7-year-old. Having friends over would be more appropriate for an adolescent.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: The body systems model focuses on abnormalities.
