Answer to Question 1

C
The face should be covered with a sheet as a sign of respect. The Jewish culture requires that the body not be left alone. A family member is responsible for closing the eyes and mouth. If possible, the feet should be facing the door.

Answer to Question 2

Feedback
1. A head circumference is not an indicated neurological check for all ages of children.
2. The indicators of the neurological system for all ages include a widening pulse pressure, papilledema, and the ability to move each extremity.
3. Vital signs need to be assessed in a child with a brain tumor to closely monitor changes in pulse pressures. Older children will have closed fontanels.
4. Head circumference is not measured in all children.
