Answer to Question 1
B
Children become ill quickly and recover quickly; therefore, they can require acute care for a shorter period of time. A child's state of wellness, rather than cost, determines the length of stay. Separation anxiety is primarily a factor of the stage of development not the length of the hospital stay. Family disruption is a secondary outcome of a child's hospitalization; it does not determine length of stay.
Answer to Question 2
D
Familiar rituals and routines are important to toddlers and give the child a sense of control. Following the child's usual routines during hospitalization minimizes feelings of loss of control. Providing consistent caregivers is most applicable for the very young child, such as the neonate and infant. Placing a cover over the child's crib may increase feelings of loss of control. Parents are encouraged, rather than expected, to stay with the child during hospitalization.
