Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. The statement by the nurse It is hard to be quiet and lie still during this, but you are doing very well would be most helpful to a child during a procedure or a treatment. During procedures, the nurse should guide and coach the child using soft, reassuring words and giving praise intermittently for cooperation and following directions
B Incorrect. It is inadvisable to use phrases like You're a good girl (or a good boy). Young children may associate the procedure with punishment.
C Incorrect. This statement is not helpful because it is not possible to know how long a treatment will hurt. At the conclusion of the procedure, offer a simple apology if the child experienced pain, such as I'm sorry if I hurt you.
D Incorrect. This statement is not helpful to a child during a procedure or treatment. If the child cries during the procedure, he or she may feel like a failure. Also, follow up to a procedure should include fun activities or comfort measures agreed on in advance.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse should not rely on the child for verification of identity. The identity should be confirmed by comparing the hospital identification band and a second identifier, such as birth date or room number.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
