Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The nurse should not talk over or around the child, just because of her age, but include her in conversation and communication. Before any treatment or therapy, explanation should be given. Otherwise the child will be frightened and the treatment will not be effective.
Rationale 2: The knowledge of the client's developmental stage will allow the nurse to modify the message accordingly. The use of dolls and games with simple language may help explain a procedure to a child.
Rationale 3: Before any treatment or therapy, explanation should be given. Otherwise the child will be frightened and the treatment will not be effective.
Rationale 4: Nurses should always be prepared to give explanation and teaching to their clients.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Telling the client that she might feel better if she looks better implies that the client's looks are objectionable.
Rationale 2: Suggesting that washing away the gloom and doom minimizes the client's concerns.
Rationale 3: How a person dresses or looks may be an indicator of how the person feels. A change in grooming habits may signal that the client is feeling better.
Rationale 4: A change in grooming habits may signal that the client is feeling better, but the nurse must be careful in this situation that the focus is not on the client's spouse-but on the client.
