Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. When comparing the way infants react to pain with the way older children respond to pain, you will find that there is considerable difference between the way infants and children respond to pain.
B Correct. Development becomes increasingly differentiated. For example, infants will react with their entire body to pain by crying and withdrawing, whereas an older child is able to localize the pain, can often identify its source, and may only withdraw the extremity experiencing the pain.
C Incorrect. When comparing the way infants react to pain with the way older children respond to pain, you will not find that children will cry more and infants will withdraw more.
D Incorrect. When comparing the way infants react to pain with the way older children respond to pain, you will not find that infants will refuse to nurse during pain while children will continue to eat.

Answer to Question 2

B
The drainage bottles must be kept below the level of the chest to prevent the backflow of drainage. The rubberized Kelly clamps must be available at all times in case the tube breaks. A sterile petroleum gauze is also always available to place over the site when the tubes are removed. The infant can be transported, but with care to maintain integrity of the suction.
