Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Because an infant cannot understand explanations of surgery or treatments, oral preparation is minimal. Remind parents to pack special items such as a favorite toy because this object provides a special kind of security for which there is no substitute. The infant is not old enough to appreciate a new pair of pajamas. Reading a story will have no meaning to the child. The child will not understand a suitcase being packed.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should explain the purpose and principles for a procedure. Explaining the need to place a pillow under the leg so that swelling will go down is how the nurse should incorporate teaching while providing patient care. The nurse should explain that a pulse of 88 is normal. The nurse should explain why a needle must be placed in the child's arm. The nurse should explain why the child needs to eat all of the dinner.
