Answer to Question 1

A
Racemic epinephrine is administered per inhalation. It has an immediate effect and peaks in 2 to 3 hours. The drug may be repeated in several hours. The drug does not discolor tooth enamel.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse would instruct the family to talk to the child because the child would be comforted by the familiar voices. The nurse would touch the child and encourage the family to do so because, like talking to the child, touching is also reassuring. An absolutely quiet room enhances the feeling of being alone. Parents need the nurse's support and shouldn't be left alone for long periods.
