Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Siblings should be invited to attend meeting to be part of the care team for the child. They can learn about an individualized education plan and help design strategies that will work at home. Embarrassment may be associated with having a sibling with a chronic illness or disability. Parents must be able to respond in an appropriate manner without punishing the sibling. The parents may need assistance with the care of the child. Most siblings are positive about the extra responsibilities. Parents need to inform the siblings about the child's condition before a nonfamily member does so. The parents do not want the siblings to fantasize about what is wrong with the child.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The nurse should be particularly alert to a child who withdraws and passively accepts all painful procedures. This child may believe that such acts are inflicted as deserved punishment for being less worthy. A child who is hopeful is mobilized into goal-directed actions. This child would actively participate in care. Chronic sorrow is the feeling of sorrow and loss that recurs in waves over time. It is usually evident in the parents, not in the child. The seriously ill child would actively participate in care. Nursing interventions should be used to minimize the pain.
