Answer to Question 1

C
In pediatric nursing, both the child and the family are the focus.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. The nurse's best answer has nothing to do with the difficulty of reaching the tonsils for their removal.
B Incorrect. The nurse's best answer has nothing to do with how scary it is or that they cannot understand what is happening.
C Correct. Tonsillectomies are performed on children over 3 years of age since excessive blood loss is more apt to occur in younger children. Also, there is a potential for the tonsils to grow back or other lymphoid tissue to hypertrophy when the surgery is performed on the very young.
D Incorrect. The nurse's best answer is not the issue of early separation from the parents or caregivers.
