Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Visits for acute illness, playground injury, initial immunization screenings, and counseling require that the nurse assess the child individually. Population-based screening programs may include periodic vision and hearing tests, height and weight measurements, or immunization checks.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Because advocacy involves teaching, empowering, and networking, scheduling a conference with the client's parents to discuss blood glucose management and nutrition would be the most appropriate action to take as her advocate. Performing a finger stick and checking her blood glucose level and weighing her weekly are not good examples of advocacy because they do not involve teaching, empowering, or networking. Scolding the client for buying a soda would not empower her but would likely shame her and would not be an effective intervention.
