Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct: Prior to performing an intervention or procedure, it is necessary for the nurse to consider the potential pain associated with the action. Because the pediatric client may be ineffective in communicating pain to the health care provider, it is essential for the nurse to anticipate painful experiences. The nurse can expect that a procedure that would hurt an adult will also cause pain to a child.
B Incorrect: Asking the child would not consistently be effective, as the ability to predict pain may not be developmentally possible.
C Incorrect: The nurse cannot assume that the parent will be familiar with the procedure and the outcomes associated with it
D Incorrect: Regardless of past experience, the nurse can anticipate that an intervention or procedure that causes pain in an adult will also cause pain in the child.

Answer to Question 2

A
Primary atelectasis is caused by oversedation of the mother.
