Answer to Question 1

B, C, D, E
Feedback:
Practice guidelines to encourage fluid intake at any age include offering small full glasses of fluid, provide the favorite fluid, encourage popsicles if permitted, and provide a straw if not contraindicated. The nurse should try changes in temperature of offered fluids for variety.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Bedtime prayers may be especially important to young children because they lend security in a strange environment. Hanging a religious picture, providing with a Bible, and having the hospital chaplain visit will not necessarily provide security to a child in a strange environment.
