Answer to Question 1

B
Children often deal with their stressors through play. The nurse will look at the drawing and use this to assess feelings. Communication with the child about the drawing is an essential part of this activity. The ability to draw a picture will not indicate that the child is functioning normally, just that the child is able to accomplish this task.

Answer to Question 2

C
Irritable behavior is a hallmark of Kawasaki disease. A quiet environment may help diminish outbursts.
