Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse needs to monitor for signs of respiratory depression, a potential adverse effect of the opioid medication. Epidural hematoma, arachnoiditis, and spinal headache are potential adverse effects of the insertion of the epidural catheter.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Preschoolers fear separation. If able to grasp the concept of dying, this child's major worry is being alone and separated. These children may need someone to stay with them constantly to reassure them that they are loved and people are caring for them. Anger, verbalization of feelings, and bargaining are not behaviors typically associated with a preschool age-child who is facing death.
