Answer to Question 1

1,2,4
Rationale 1: The child with an AND order may still receive oxygen to provide comfort.
Rationale 2: Suctioning of secretions would be appropriate for a child with an AND order.
Rationale 3: In most cases when a patient has an AND and respiratory arrest occurs, there will be no attempts to initiate resuscitation activities.
Rationale 4: The goal of AND orders is to maintain comfort of the patient while not continuing futile efforts to restore life. Pain control would be appropriate.
Rationale 5: Should the heart fail, external attempts to restart the heart would be inappropriate.
Global Rationale:

Rationale 3: Children and families often learn best when presented with small bits of information.
Rationale 4: Giving too much information to the parents at one time can result in them forgetting important information due to overload; selecting one topic and presenting information is appropriate.
Global Rationale:
