but other involved disciplines must be included.
B The family must be included in the discharge conferences, which allow them to
determine what education they will require and the resources needed at home.

with complex health needs. The family is involved as well as key health
professionals who are involved in the child's care.

the child.

Answer to Question 2

Feedback
A The developmentally appropriate activity for the hospitalized toddler is to play
with a push-pull toy. Chronic illness may interfere in the development of
autonomy, which is the major psychosocial task of the toddler.
B Putting together a puzzle could frustrate the toddler and is appropriate for a
preschool or school-age child.
C Playing a simple card game could frustrate the toddler and is appropriate for a
preschool or school-age child.
