Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: The safest place for the child is in the back seat.
Rationale 2: This is correct information.
Rationale 3: This is incorrect. The rear-facing car seats usually have a weight limit of 20 pounds, after which the child is turned forward.
Rationale 4: This is incorrect information. Young children are better protected in a child car seat with harness straps.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The question stem indicates that the child has been through this before, so Knowledge deficit is not the most appropriate diagnosis.
Rationale 2: The child's fear is related not to the unfamiliar environment but to the anticipated pain of the IV stick.
Rationale 3: This child is not old enough to understand the need for an IV infusion. The question stem indicates that the child has been through this painful procedure before, and his reaction to entering the treatment room is based on anticipation of repeat discomfort.
Rationale 4: The child's behavior is appropriate for coping in this age child.
Global Rationale:
