Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect: Inclusion is derived from the word include. Include means to involve as a subordinate part.
B Correct: While pediatric clients are entitled to informed consent, it is usually the role of the parent or legal guardain to give informed consent. A child is asked to give assent prior to a procedure or treatment. Assent means the child has been informed about what will happen during a treatment or procedure, and is willing to permit a health care provider to perform the care.
C Incorrect: Consideration refers to taking an individual's opinion into account. However, this is not the correct legal term for giving consent or permission.
D Incorrect: Co-permission refers to jointly allowing, authorizing, or consenting such as a child with the parent or legal guardian. However, this is not the correct legal term for giving their consent or permission.

Answer to Question 2

B
A 6-year-old child needs 10 to 12 hours of sleep each night. This child is not getting enough sleep. A 6-year-old is likely to be in first grade, where a nap is not possible.
