Answer to Question 2

B
Giving equal time to all of the children may not be possible. The siblings should be encouraged to participate in the care of the dying child. The siblings may feel jealous of the extra attention the dying child is receiving. The siblings should be allowed to express their feelings. Jealousy about the extra attention should be expected. The parents should continue to enforce all of the rules.
