Answer to Question 1

A
Response:
The nurse needs emphasize to the mother that she must only pat the child dry, not rub the skin. Rubbing can cause further itching. The other statements are correct.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
At age 11, the child is in preadolescence, at which time it is normal for girls to experience a growth spurt. During this growth spurt, it would be likely that she would add more than just 1.5 pounds. Abdominal breathing is typical of a preschooler and would have disappeared several years earlier. The third molars do not erupt until late adolescence.
