Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Therapeutic play has several purposes, including allowing children to demonstrate their emotions, decreasing stress, helping to correct misconceptions about treatments, and helping the child learn to cope with and master stressful situations. A purpose is not to give the parents a break.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
Discharge teaching after minor surgery involves many items, including actions and side effects of prescribed medications; activity that is allowed, expected, and should be encouraged; signs and symptoms of infection; and when the child can eat and drink again. Usually, temperature on children is taken via the axillary route.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. 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.
