Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
Computer programs are popular with all age groups, providing problem-solving skills, manipulative skills, and opportunities for new learning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D, E
Art is an appropriate play activity at almost any age and provides an avenue for experimentation as well as for creative expression and a feeling of accomplishment in the child. Observing the child at play can aid in assessing growth and development and understanding the child's relationships with family members. Any plan of care for a hospitalized child of any age should include a play activity that either encourages growth and development or encourages the expression of thoughts and feelings. Computer programs are popular with all age groups, providing problem-solving skills, manipulative skills, and opportunities for new learning.
