Answer to Question 1

C
Parents cannot bring their child back to the unit as needed. Discharge planning should begin as soon as the patient is admitted. Providing written instructions about all aspects of care will reinforce teaching and provide an important resource for the parents. The parents need to be informed of discharge as soon as possible so that they can begin making arrangements and can prepare for departure.

Answer to Question 2

D
