Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. Sometimes then children are having difficulty taking fluids, the nurse will not most likely tell the child he will not get better unless he drinks more. Threats are rarely effective intervention.
B Incorrect. Sometimes then children are having difficulty taking fluids, the nurse will not most likely offer the child a reward if he drinks a certain amount each hour. Bribes are not always an effective technique.
C Incorrect. Sometimes then children are having difficulty taking fluids, the nurse will never most likely have the doctor talk to the child and the parents, as this is the responsibility of the nurse and the nursing staff.
D Correct. Preschoolers are usually sociable, and group play and activities are often successful. Sometimes then children are having difficulty taking fluids, a tea party, or playing restaurant then drinks are ordered, is more helpful than frequent encouragement to take fluids.

Answer to Question 2

C
Thickening the formula with cereal can help with decreasing the episodes of reflux.
