Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale:
1. Make the initial approach in the parents' presence whenever possible.
2. Approaching without the parent present will create anxiety in the child.
3. Approach the child slowly when meeting her for the first time.
4. Always enter the room slowly and speak to the parent first and then the child.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The child should be allowed to return to the playroom as soon as the procedure is completed; bringing toys to the bedside is unnecessary.
Rationale 2: Scheduled respiratory treatments should be performed on time.
Rationale 3: It is important for scheduled treatments to occur on time, so the child should go back to his room. He can return to the playroom as soon as the treatment is completed.
Rationale 4: Procedures should not be performed in the playroom.
