Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A burn injury is taxing to the child and parents. It requires long periods of hospitalization and frequent readmissions. The accident itself is terrifying for the child but is made even worse if caused by disobedience. Nurses encourage children to express their feelings. Analgesics are administered before painful procedures. The long-term patient requires diversions of various types. School tutors are requested, and contact is maintained with peers through cards or e-mail.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A vesicle is an elevated, fluid-filled blister (cold sore, chickenpox).
