Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The priority action would be to contact the neighbor for an emergency number to reach the parents and get their verbal consent, with two witnesses listening simultaneously. If the nurse cannot reach the parents and there is no relative or other person with written authorization to act on the parent's behalf, then the physician may initiate emergency care without the parent's consent. Parens patriae would be reserved for situations in which the parents are neglectful, irresponsible, or incompetent, for example, if the parents refuse treatment and the health care team feels the treatment is reasonable and warranted.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Although having the computer in a family area is better than putting it in her room, and warning her about protecting her identity is key, it is important to determine if the child is neglecting responsibilities, schoolwork, household activities, friends, or other forms of personal interaction. Once this is determined, then reasonable time limits for the child's use of the Internet can be established.
