  1. CBT is individual-based therapy, and IPT is done in group sessions..
   2. IPT therapy is better suited for depressed adolescents because it can be done as a group or on an individual basis, but CBT is more suited for depressed children..
   3. CBT has a better success rate than IPT..
   4. IPT is used more with adults, but some studies are showing success with children..

Question 2

Preventing harm is a safety issue at any age in pediatric nursing. As a nurse, it is important to remember to do all of the following to prevent harm within the hospital except:
 
  1. Put crib rails in the highest position when an infant is in the bed.
   2. Place the IV monitor in a locked mode so if the child's pushes the buttons, the monitor cannot change.
   3. Place formula in the microwave to heat thoroughly.
   4. Place a child safety tag on every child to prevent abduction.
