Answer to Question 1

Answer:4
Rationale: While the toddler will need to be restrained,the parent should not be the one to do this. The nurse should avoid giving the child a choice if there is no choice. The treatment room should be utilized for the procedure so that the hospital bed remains a safe place. The child should be allowed to cry or scream during the procedure.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale:Hospitalization of the child in a pediatric intensive-care unit is a great stressor for parents.If the parents feel that they are not informed or involved in the care of their child,they may become angry and upset.Calling the physician or chaplain may be appropriate at some point,but the nurse must assume the role of supporter in this situation to promote a sense of trust. Telling the parents that they cannot visit their child will only increase their anger.
