Answer to Question 1
A, D, E
For a child with a visual impairment, to improve communication the nurse should orient the child to the surroundings, allow the child to handle equipment as the procedure is explained, and explain sounds the child may frequently hear. The nurse should identify herself when entering the room, and tell the child when departing so touching the child before speaking is not accurate. The call bell should be kept in the same place and within the child's reach, not with the parent as the parent may leave for a break or be sleeping when the child needs something.
Answer to Question 2

More positive interactions occur when the toddler perceives the meeting in a nonthreatening way. Placing yourself at the toddler's level and speaking softly can be less threatening for the child. Picking a toddler up at an initial meeting is a threatening action and will more likely result in a negative response from the child. Toddlers are unlikely to respond to direct questions at a first meeting. Telling the toddler you are the nurse is not likely to facilitate or encourage cooperation. The toddler perceives you as a stranger and will find the action threatening.
