Answer to Question 1

Answer:4
Rationale: The plan to call the school nurse and teacher is the role of the nurse advocate. The other choices do not directly deal with the issue of the child's being teased by the other children or with identifying solutions. These choices merely deal with hiding the problem.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:1
Rationale:Children and families often learn best when presented with small bits of information.Do not give too much information to the parents at one time; therefore,selecting one topic and presenting information is appropriate.It is not appropriate to discuss malnutrition with these parents,since nothing in the stem of the question indicates that the child has a problem with nutrition.
