Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Feedback:
Preschoolers enjoy books with pictures that tell stories. Stories with repeated phrases help to keep the child's attention. Also, children like stories that describe experiences similar to their own. The preschool child demonstrates early literacy skills by reciting stories or portions of books. He or she also may retell the story from the book, pretend to read books, and ask questions about the story. The preschool child has enough focus and expanded attention to notice when a page is skipped during reading and will call it to the parent's attention.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Overloading of IV fluid in infants can be prevented by use of fluid chambers, devices that allow only 50 to 100 ml of fluid into the drip chamber at a time. With these in place, even if the pump fails, only the amount of fluid in the drip chamber will be allowed to enter the child's circulation, not the entire contents of the bag suspended above the child's head. A large-bore needle will not ensure that intravenous fluids will be administered safely to an infant. Using a rolled pillowcase instead of a hard arm board also will not ensure that intravenous fluids will be administered safely to an infant. The height of the infusion bag will not ensure that fluids will be administered safely to an infant.
