Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Preschool-age children have active imaginations and dressing up to play house would be an appropriate play activity for the nurse to encourage. The child's fine motor skills are not developed to play an electronic handheld game. Children of this age are afraid of the dark so turning out the lights to play hide and seek is not appropriate. Planting flower bulbs is an activity that is too long-term for this age range.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Because preschoolers' imagination is so active, this leads to several fears such as fear of the dark and mutilation. The nurse needs to help the child understand that the CT scanner is like a camera to take pictures of the body parts. Threatening the child to follow directions or becoming hurt plays into the child's fear of mutilation. Telling the child to behave creates a fear of punishment. Telling the child that the CT scan is a picture of the body's dark parts plays into the child's fear of the dark.
