The nurse is administering treatments to a school-aged child with a disability. This child is in a state of remission and nearly symptom-free.
 
  He tries to talk his caregivers into not bringing him to treatments and wants to stop as soon as he starts the treatment, saying he really does not need it. After assessing for the need, the nurse would begin work to get him to accept his treatments by: a. offering him some positive reinforcements, such as candy or a food treat that is allowed in his diet in return for doing the treatments
  b. asking his caregivers to talk with him and offer some consequences if he does not do the treatments as prescribed
  c. listening to the child, then explaining and discussing why treatments are necessary during periods of lessened or no symptoms
  d. telling the child about other children his age who have continued their treatments despite being in remission

Question 2

The nurse clarifies that a child who has isotonic dehydration has lost:
 
  a. No fluids or electrolytes
  b. More electrolytes than fluids
  c. More fluids than electrolytes
  d. Equal amounts of fluids and electrolytes
