Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
When assessing preschool children, using games or allowing them to play with the equipment to reduce their fears can be helpful. Such games are not appropriate for the other age groups.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Children at this age like to say, No. Choices should not be offered when no choice is really available. If the child says, No and the nurse does it anyway, then the nurse loses trust. Autonomy is enhanced by offering a limited option, Shall I listen to your heart next or your tummy?
