Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale:
1. This answer is honest and positive, looking at the future, which is how the nurse should respond to such a question from an adolescent.
1. This answer provides incorrect information. Those with below-the-knee amputations are able to play sports with assistive devices.
2. This answer does not meet the teen's needs.
3. This response doesn't answer the question, and is degrading.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. The child should talk to someone he trusts and is close to. Even if he is close to his minister, at age 5, this type information should come from parents, with assistance if necessary.
2. This answer provides an inappropriate and possible disturbing image.
3. Preschoolers need reassurance that they will not be abandoned.
4. The child will be afraid to go to sleep in the future.
