Answer to Question 1
D
The nurse would not want to discuss any interaction with the other parents. This would violate privacy. The child should be encouraged to participate in organized activity. If both parties are willing, it would be helpful for both sets of parents to discuss the situation and attempt resolution. Teaching the child to handle future situations will empower the child and possibly prevent bullying in the future.

A Incorrect. Providing advice to a caregiver about how best to explain the death of a grandfather to a 5-year-old child, the nurse shares with the caregiver that children of this age look at death differently than adults do, and would suggest the avoidance of abstractions such as: Your grandfather has gone to rest. So then is the nap over.
B Incorrect.

C Correct. By the age of 5, children's definition of death is more focused on function. People die then they are unable to breathe, eat, talk, and walk. This reflects Piaget's second stage of cognitive development, or the preoperational stage, and reflects egocentricity and tangible, concrete thinking. The grandfather died because he could not breathe, eat, talk and walk.
