Caregivers share with the school nurse that their child, who was so depressed and upset for a month by the death of a grandparent, is now engaging in all his old activities, laughing and enjoying life, and acting as if nothing ever happened.
 
  The nurse will tell the caregivers that the most likely explanation for this change in behavior is that: a. Children do not grieve the same as adults, and this is probably normal.
  b. The child received a lot of attention for the depressed behavior and has gotten enough attention.
  c. Children are very resilient, and your child is more so than most.
  d. Your child is just in an emotional plateau and resting from the depression.

Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. Children may have long periods then they are overcome with grief which is then followed by an interval then they do not seem to be affected by the loss. Nurses must help grieving caregivers understand the child's behavior is a normal process of grieving since children do not grieve the same as adults.
B Incorrect. In explaining to the caregiver the deep depression followed by a return to life as if no death had occurred, the nurse will not tell the parent that the child was only seeking attention, but that this is normal for children.
C Incorrect. In explaining to the caregiver the deep depression followed by a return to life as if no death had occurred, the nurse will not tell the parent that children are resilient as though they do not grieve, but that this is normal for children.
D Incorrect. In explaining to the caregiver the deep depression followed by a return to life as if no death had occurred, the nurse will not tell the parent that the child is just in an emotional plateau and resting from the depression, but that this is normal for children.

Answer to Question 2

C
Children should wear protective gear at all times. They should be instructed to skate on the right side of the sidewalk. Skaters should observe traffic regulations. They should completely avoid heavy traffic areas.
