Answer to Question 1

A
Spinal fusion requires long-term follow-up to assess the stability of the spinal correction. It is not over and done at this point. Showing knowledge of follow-ups, clothing, and exercises indicates the mother's understanding and does not require further teaching.

Answer to Question 2

B
The 4-year-old child is able to use correct grammar in sentence structure and typically has difficulty in pronouncing consonants. Simple sentences and a 300-word vocabulary are appropriate for a 2-year-old child. The use of language to express abstract thought is developmentally appropriate for the adolescent.
