Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Transductive reasoning is when a child connects two events in a cause-effect relationship because the events occurred at the same time.
Rationale 2: Conservation is when a child knows that matter is not changed when its form is altered.
Rationale 3: Centration is when a child focuses on only one particular aspect of a situation.
Rationale 4: A child who has developed object permanence has the ability to understand that even though something is out of sight, it still exists.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3
Rationale:
1. The family should understand that the child will receive further care and interventions such as oxygen, suctioning, pain control, and supportive nursing care in the presence of a DNR order.
2. The family should understand that the child will receive further care and interventions such as oxygen, suctioning, pain control, and supportive nursing care in the presence of a DNR order.
3. The family should understand that the child will receive further care and interventions such as oxygen, suctioning, pain control, and supportive nursing care in the presence of a DNR order.
4. Tube feeding is not considered when a DNR is in place, because it continues to sustain life.
5. Physical therapy is inappropriate at this time.
