Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Confinement to bed for a child does not always result in physical rest. In pediatrics, bed rest means providing play therapy that promotes minimal activity. The nurse should consider the age and developmental level of the child and the activity level involved in the play when designing appropriate activities and guiding parents in the home care of their child.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
The technique requires that breath be inhaled through the nose and exhaled through pursed lips in a nonforceful manner. The exhalation should be twice as long as the inhalation.
