A young nurse with no experiences of death in her own life is having a difficult time caring for terminally ill children and their families. What is the best approach for the nurse to take in caring for these families?
 
  A) Focus on the physical needs of the patient; the nurse's job is to care for those aspects of the child's needs
  B) Ask another nurse to perform those tasks that involve discussions with the patients and their caregivers
  C) Ask her supervisor to allow her to attend a seminar on dealing with the terminally ill and to recommend books and articles that will help her understand death better
  D) Recognize that the bad thing is not happening to her, and face her responsibility to care for all of the needs of the patient

Question 2

The father of a 10-year-old who has recently been
 
  diagnosed with a terminal illness tells the nurse that his family had been working together for the previous year trying to get the 10-year-old and his 6-year-old sister to play better together and to share with each other. Which statement would be most appropriate for the nurse to tell the father regarding children and the diagnosis of an illness?
  A) The younger child might believe that her anger at her brother caused his illness; she will need reassurance that she does not have that power.
  B) The older child might believe that his sister's anger caused his illness; he will need reassurance that his sister does not have that power.
  C) It will be important that the children learn to play well together while the older child is alive so that the younger child will have positive memories of the older child.
  D) Both children are likely to be more cooperative and pleasant with each other as they deal with this crisis.
