Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. Children may fear situations that appear minor to an adult, may fear that they may become lost then being transported around the hospital. Anticipating this would prompt the nurse to put a sign on the door, so the child could be found.
B Incorrect. Placing a unique cartoon character on the outside and inside of a child's door is not to remind everyone that this is a pediatric unit for children who have special needs and is not a unit for adults.
C Incorrect. Placing a unique cartoon character on the outside and inside of a child's door is not to cheer the children up and help them laugh to reduce tension in their lives.
D Incorrect. Placing a unique cartoon character on the outside and inside of a child's door is not to help establish a personality for the hospital, the floors, the unit, and the room of the child who is hospitalized.
