Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Play activities to encourage fluid intake for a child include tea parties, crazy straws, cutting gelatin into fun shapes, and making ice pops using the child's favorite juice. Small cups, not large Styrofoam cups, should be used.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
The advantages of an implanted port include reduced risk of infection, reduced cost for the family, and placed completely under the skin. Because it is implanted and must be accessed, it is not easy to use for self-administered infusions, and removal does require a surgical procedure.
