Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Children who are unable to hear may need additional time for explanations and support. By placing the syringe and uncapped needle on the bed, the child is contaminating the needle. This would indicate that additional teaching is necessary. Pinching the skin, injecting air, and slowly pushing on the plunger all indicate that teaching has been effective.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Parents of children with multiple medical needs may benefit from a trial period of home care. This occurs while the child is still in the hospital, but the parents or caregivers provide all of the care that the child requires. The other options are also important teaching methods, but a trial period is the best solution for a child with multiple medical conditions.
