Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse needs to empower families to become the experts on their child's needs and conditions via education and participation in care. The most positive approach is to let the mother know the nurse will support her and help her become an expert on her daughter's care. Telling the mother that she must learn how to care for her daughter or that she must have a positive attitude is not helpful. Telling her that she needs to collaborate with the caregivers is true, but does not address her fears.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Dysphagia is a sign of myasthenic crisis. Increased salivation, hypotension, and increased sweating are signs and symptoms of cholinergic crisis.
