Answer to Question 1

A
In time-out, the child is told to sit on a chair for a predetermined time, usually 1 minute per year of age. Relating time to a behavior is subjective and inappropriate when the child is very young. Time-out can be used with a toddler. Negative behavior should not be reinforced with a positive action.

Answer to Question 2

A, C
A nurse who fails to notify a physician about a child's worsening condition and delegating the assessment of a new admit to a UAP do not meet the standard of care. Calling the supervisor about staffing concerns, asking the UAP to take vital signs, and documenting that a physician could not be reached and the nursing supervisor was notified all meet the standard of care.
