Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Parents should be helped to support their child through emergency procedures, if they are able. Parents should never be asked to take part in emergency efforts unless absolutely necessary. Merely watching the resuscitation serves no purpose for the child. If the parents interfere with resuscitation efforts or they are unable to tolerate the situation, they can be asked to leave later.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Parents often feel this way; would you be interested in talking with others who have experienced having a child in the NICU? is therapeutic; it focuses on feelings and offers support to the parents. The other options do not focus on how the parents feel and attempt to solve the issue rather than allow for the parents to deal with their feelings and form solutions.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
