Answer to Question 2

C
Preschool children may cooperate if they are allowed to manipulate the equipment.
A preschool child is unable to take responsibility for his or her own preoperative hygienic care.
Leaving the preschooler alone may increase the child's anxiety.
Magazines and puzzles would be more appropriate activities for the older child. The preschool child likes to engage in pretend play by using the imagination and imitating adult behaviour.
