Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The best children's hospital units are equipped with a playroom or play space that is maintained as a pain-free zone. No medical procedures, not even painless ones, should be performed in this area. The nurse should not provide the injection in the playroom. Asking the child and other children if the injection can be given in the playroom violates the pain-free zone.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The 2-year-old can point to named body parts and has a vocabulary of 40 to 50 words. At 30 months old a child can follow a series of two independent commands and at 3 years old a child can say name, age, and gender.
