Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In accordance with federal law, a specially trained professional (e.g., transplant coordinator or social worker) makes requests for organ and tissue donation at the time of every death. Given the complex and sensitive nature of such requests, only specially trained personnel make the requests. Although the nurse may be less knowledgeable than the coordinator, uncomfortable asking the family, or not wanting to upset the family, the primary rationale is to be in accordance with federal law.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A child's stage of development and chronological age will influence grieving. Toddlers can show grief from a loss of parent(s) through changes in their eating patterns, changes in their sleeping patterns, fussiness, and changes in their bowel and bladder habits. It is common for younger children to regress when under increased stress. Siblings being sick, dietary changes, and playmates moving away are unlikely to cause wetting.
