Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A Supplemental oxygen should not be administered to maintain oxygen saturation
at 100. Keeping the saturation around 95 is adequate. Administration of too
much oxygen to a child may lead to respiratory depression by decreasing the
stimulus to breathe, leading to carbon dioxide retention.
B When the child cannot take oral fluids because of respiratory distress, IV fluids
are administered. The child with a continuous IV infusion must be assessed
hourly to prevent complications.
C A physician should be notified of any changes indicating increasing respiratory
distress.
D A child in respiratory distress is easily fatigued. Nursing care should be
organized so the child can get needed rest without being disturbed.

Answer to Question 2

T
Because of these perceptions, grieving parents often do not receive the support they need,
and society often allows much too short a time for mothers to grieve (and even less for
fathers).
