Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Children in this age group still fear that their insides may leak out at the injection site. The nurse should be prepared to apply a small Band-Aid after the injection. No explanation should be required.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Adolescents view illness as physiologic (an organ malfunction) and psychophysiologic (psychologic factors that affect health). Adolescents usually approach pain with self-control. They are concerned with remaining composed and feel embarrassed and ashamed of losing control. Toddlers and preschoolers react to pain primarily as a physical, concrete experience. Preschoolers may try to escape a procedure with verbal statements such as go away. Young school-age children may view pain as punishment for wrongdoing. This age group fears bodily harm.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors.
