The nurse is working with a mother of three children on parenting skills. The nurse demonstrates a strategy that uses reward to increase positive behavior. This strategy is called:
 
  1. Time-out.
  2. Experiencing consequences of misbehavior.
  3. Reasoning.
  4. Behavior modification.

Question 2

The school nurse is trying to prevent the spread of a flu virus through the school. Infection-control strategies that could be employed include:
 
  1. Teaching parents safe food preparation and storage.
   2. Withholding immunizations for children with compromised immune systems.
   3. Sanitizing toys, telephones, and doorknobs to kill pathogens.
   4. Not separating children with infections from well children.

Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Time-out involves removing the child to an isolated, toy-free area for a short period of time to demonstrate that there are consequences of misbehavior.
Rationale 2: Experiencing consequences allows the child to learn that misbehavior results in negative experiences, such as losing privileges.
Rationale 3: Reasoning involves discussions about behaviors to help the child understand positive and negative behaviors.
Rationale 4: Behavior modification reinforces good behavior by giving rewards for desired behaviors.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. Teaching parents safe food preparation and storage is another tool to prevent the spread of microorganisms, but is not related to the flu virus.
2. Immunizations should not be withheld from immunocompromised children, and this is not an infection-control strategy.
3. Sanitizing toys and all contact surfaces, separating children with infections, and teaching children to wash their hands all control the growth and spread of microorganisms.
4. To prevent the spread of communicable diseases, microorganisms must be killed or their growth controlled.
