Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,4
Rationale 1: This statement is accurate and reassures the mother that the behavior is a common age variation.
Rationale 2: The goal is to allow the toddler to regain control without a loss of self-esteem. Removing the child from the area will help the child to regain control.
Rationale 3: This is another activity to help the child regain control without a loss of self-esteem. By not giving in to the child's wishes, the child is not learning to use temper tantrums to get her way.
Rationale 4: This will provide a calming atmosphere that will help the child to regain control.
Rationale 5: It is not a good idea to recommend spanking to any parent. Spanking is counterproductive in helping the child regain control.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. A mild headache is an adverse side effect of IVIG, but a severe reaction is not.
2. Voiding clear, yellow urine is a normal finding.
3. Hypersensitivity reaction can be seen with IVIG. The infusion should be started slowly and increased if there is no reaction. Shaking, chills, and fever can indicate a reaction.
4. Thirst is not an indication of a reaction.
