Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
Feedback:
The nurse should ensure that the parents are comfortable performing tracheostomy care and suctioning. The parents need to understand the need to eliminate sprays that could irritate the child's tracheal mucosa and to have a spare tracheostomy tube and inserter available in the event the current device is accidentally removed. The child needs to be monitored for adequate oxygenation, safety when eating, and activity tolerance. Encouraging independence might need to be postponed until the child's respiratory status stabilizes.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Language skills continue to accelerate during the school-age years. School-age children develop metalinguistic awarenessan ability to think about language and comment on its properties. This enables them to enjoy jokes and riddles due to their understanding of double meanings and play on words and sounds.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
