Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Perianal skin tags and/or fissures are highly suspicious of Crohn disease. Poor growth patterns and abdominal tenderness are common to Crohn disease but are also seen with many other conditions. Normal growth patterns would not point to Crohn disease because of problems with absorbing nutrients.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse needs to empower families to become the experts on their children's needs and conditions via education and participation in care. The most positive approach in this case 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 the support of her husband is irrelevant and unhelpful.
