Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
The nurse needs to remind the mother that preschoolers do not completely understand the concept of death or its permanence. Telling the mother that it is best to ignore the boy's questions or that the boy will eventually figure this out on his own does not teach. Repeating that the grandfather is not coming back does not consider the developmental stage of the child and is inappropriate.

Answer to Question 2

A
Response:
The girl is demonstrating magical thinking, a normal part of preschool development. The preschool-age child believes his or her thoughts to be all-powerful. Transduction is reasoning by viewing one situation as the basis for another situation, whether or not the two are truly causally linked. Animism is attributing life-like qualities to inanimate objects. Centration is focusing on one aspect of a situation while neglecting others.
