Answer to Question 1

A
Insomnia is a major side effect of Xopenex, therefore these treatments should be given during the day so as not to interfere with sleep.

Answer to Question 2

C
The parents should be encouraged to share their feelings. The father should not be ignored. He may not be seen as often because of work. The father may feel that he needs to conceal his emotions from the family as part of the male image, but the nurse should remember that he may have strong feelings and may feel abandoned.
