Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. Empathy refers to the ability to put one's self in the other person's shoes--to feel as well as to intellectually know what the other person is experiencing.
B Incorrect. Sympathy and empathy are not the same.
C Incorrect. Sympathy is not the same as empathy.
D Incorrect. The subjectivity of interactions with the child and caregivers has nothing to do with empathy.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. This child will not be elevated 45 degrees in a supine position.
B Correct. A child who has just returned from the recovery room postoperatively for placement of a shunt as a treatment for hydrocephalus will be placed flat and lying on the unoperated side to prevent rapid CSF drainage and pressure on the valves. If CSF is drained too quickly, the child is at risk for a subdural hematoma caused by tears in the vessels secondary to the cerebral cortex pulling away from the dura.
C Incorrect. This child will be positioned flat, but not on the operated side.
D Incorrect. This child will not be elevated 30 degrees and prone.
