Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
After the procedure, the child continues to need reassurance that he or she performed well and is accepted and loved. The other options are not appropriate for a toddler.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A school-age child may try to delay the procedure, but it is best to complete the procedure and allow time for the child to express his or her feelings. The nurse should not postpone administering the antibiotic, change it to PO, or wait to start the IV line until the child is ready.
