Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E
The most frightening aspects of hospitalization for toddlers are pain, anxiety, and separation from the parents. Being different from peers is an issue for older children. Fear that illness is punishment is characteristic of the preschooler.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Once hospice care has been chosen, it is important to not make drastic changes in the care plan, especially as the end of life approaches. Hospice care recognizes that death is part of life and is focused on symptom control and quality of life, not cure. The parent who plans to call 911 for shortness of breath does not understand this concept, nor does he or she understand manifestations of approaching death. The other statements are compatible with hospice care in the home.
