Answer to Question 2

A, B, E
Feedback
Correct These are all developmentally appropriate approaches to facilitate
adjustment and coping for an adolescent who will be experiencing
prolonged hospitalization.
Incorrect Involving parents in care and following home routines are important
interventions for the preschool child who is in the hospital. Adolescents do
not need parents to assist in their care. They are used to performing
independent self-care. Adolescents may want their parents to be nearby, or
they may enjoy the freedom and independence from parental control and
routines.
