Answer to Question 1

A
Children with RAP must be seen every 2 to 4 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

D
Aggressive communication is when a person interacts with another in an overpowering and forceful manner to meet their own personal needs at the expense of the other. By only medicating a patient every 4 hours for excruciating pain, the nurse meets their own needs at the expense of the patient.
