Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Coping strategies for parents caring for a child with a chronic illness include listening to the child, accepting the child's illness, establishing a support system, and learning to care for the child's illness one day at a time. Information should be shared with the child about the illness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D
When parents who do not speak English are informed of their child's chronic illness, interpreters familiar with both their culture and language should be used. The nurse should speak slowly and only use a few sentences at a time. Children, family members, and friends of the family should not be used as translators because their presence may prevent parents from openly discussing the issues. The nurse should speak to the family, not the interpreter.

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.
