Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Causing more injury to their child is a common concern among parents of children with osteogenesis imperfecta. The nurse needs to show them how to hold, change, feed, and play with their babies. In this situation, the caring nurse offers to help the parents learn to hold their baby and offers support. The nurse should never assume to know how someone else is feeling. Medications will not help this child lead a normal life. Stating that the parents are lucky is belittling their feelings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The child receiving a neuromuscular blocking agent is completely paralyzed and needs ventilator support. Proper care is important to prevent pneumonia. Monitoring urinary output and turning the patient are important, but do not take priority over breathing. The child needs a quiet environment free of excess stimulation.
