Answer to Question 1

1,2,3
Rationale 1: Blowing bubbles or popping bubbles can be a distraction for a young school-age child.
Rationale 2: Listening to music or singing can be used as distraction for this age group.
Rationale 3: Guided imagery is a means of encouraging relaxation and mental images to manage pain.
Rationale 4: Under hypnosis, the child is an altered state of awareness; this is not a form of distraction.
Rationale 5: Sucrose solution is used for infants up to 12 months of age. It has not been found to be effective in the school-age child.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Biking is an acceptable sport as long as protective equipment is worn, and the child should be encouraged to make choices when possible.
2. Children with hemophilia should be encouraged to participate in non-contact sports activities. Bicycling is an excellent option, and is recommended, along with swimming. However, the child should always use kneepads, elbow pads, and a helmet when participating in any physical sport.
3. Participating only in the social aspects of the club would not encourage physical activity.
4. Discouraging a child from joining a club would not foster growth and development.
