Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The 2-year-old is most concerned with separation from the parent. Encouraging the mother to stay will help decrease the child's level of anxiety. Offering toys, introducing staff, and orienting the girl to the unit are tactics that might be helpful once the initial anxiety is allayed but would not be the nurse's first actions.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Culture and genetics play a role in determining average height and weight for a child. Children with shorter, smaller parents are more likely to fall below the average height and weight, and would be appropriate. The child's age is taken into consideration when plotting height and weight on a graph that indicates what would be normal for that age child. Number of siblings and marital status of the mother would not be anticipated to play a role in growth.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
