Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
A loss of consciousness occurs as children grow closer and closer to death; although, they may remain perfectly alert until seconds before death. Because hearing is one of the last senses lost, the nurse may need to remind family members and other health care personnel that the child may not be able to respond but may be able to hear. Continue to explain procedures to unconscious children as if they were conscious because they undoubtedly do hear. Never make any comment in the child's presence that would not be made if the child were alert.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
Factors that ease parental adjustment to a child's long-term illness include having a strong religious faith, having a good relationship with their parents, having support people available such as siblings, and having a good marital bond. Having concerns about missing work and having enough money for medical care are not findings that will help the parents adjust to their newborn's long-term illness.
