A mother of two children,an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old,tells you that her husband has recently been deployed to the Middle East.
 
  The mother is concerned about the children's constant interest in watching TV news coverage of activities in the Middle East. The most appropriate suggestion for the nurse to make to this mother would be
  1. Allow the children to watch asmuch television as they want. This is how they are coping with their father's absence.
  2. It will just take some time to adjustto their father's absence,then everything will return to normal.The less that you discuss this,thequicker the children will adjust to their father's absence. Try to keep them busy and use distractions to keep their mind off of it.
  4. Spend time with your children andtake cues from them about how much they want to discuss.

Question 2

The school nurse is planning a smoking-prevention program for middle school students. The tip that is most likely to be effective in preventing middle school children from smoking is
 
  having a local high school basketball star come to talk to the students about the importance of not smoking.
  2. having the school's biology teacherdemonstrate the pathophysiology of the effects of smoking tobacco on the body.
  3. developing colorful posters withcatchy slogans and placing them all over the school.

Answer to Question 1

Answer:4
Rationale:Constant viewing of the TV coverage of the war may increase the children's anxiety and fear for their father's safety. The mother should be aware that even though the children may appear to have adjusted,there may be delayed reactions or regressions in behavior.Children need to be able to discuss their feelings and concerns with an adult;otherwise their emotional distress may increase.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:1
Rationale: While all of the above strategies are good,the most effective tip would be to have a local high school basketball star come to talk to the students about the importance of not smoking because students at this age are more likely to listen to and attempt to emulate someone of their own peer group whom they respect and look up to.Information from adults,posters,and signed contracts are not as likely to influence children of this age more than the pressure of their peers.
