Answer to Question 1
C
In the despair stage of separation, the child exhibits signs of hopelessness and becomes quiet, withdrawn, and apathetic. The detachment stage occurs after prolonged separation. During this phase, the child becomes interested in the environment and begins to play. In the protest stage, the child would be agitated, crying, resistant to caregivers, and inconsolable. Toddlers do not readily adjust to hospitalization and separation from caregivers.
Answer to Question 2
B
Separation is the major stressor for children hospitalized between the ages of 6 and 30 months. Infants younger than 6 months of age will generally adapt to hospitalization if their basic needs for food, warmth, and comfort are met. Although separation anxiety occurs in hospitalized preschoolers, it is usually less obvious and less serious than that experienced by the toddler. The school-age child is accustomed to separation from parents. Although hospitalization is a stressor, the 7-year-old child will have less separation anxiety than a 15-month-old toddler.
