  a. See a situation from many viewpoints
  b. Understand a situation based only on what he or she has experienced
  c. Think in very concrete terms
  d. Learn from the experiences of his or her parents and peers

Question 2

A mother calls the pediatric triage nurse to report that her son has a barky cough, and it started about midnight. The nurse should instruct the mother to:
 
  1. Take the child to the emergency room right away.
   2. Sleep with the child in an upright position.
   3. Take the child into a room with a cool mist humidifier or go outside and see if the barky cough subsides.
   4. All of the above would be appropriate responses for the mother.

Answer to Question 1

A
Adolescents can view a situation from many viewpoints as they can now think in abstract terms. This allows adolescents to imagine or organize possibilities that they have not themselves experienced.

Answer to Question 2

3
Feedback
1. The mother should attempt to relieve the symptoms at home prior to coming to the emergency room.
2. The child will more than likely not sleep.
3. A cool mist humidifier or going outside can help reduce the inflammation of the trachea and larynx area.
4. Only using the cool mist humidifier or taking this child into the cool night is effective treatment.
