Answer to Question 1

2. The mother should let the client choose to attend the funeral or not.

Rationale:
The client with Down's will experience grief and loss as any normal person would. The child should be allowed to choose for himself, within reason, if he wants to attend the funeral. This client needs closure for the grief he will have. Telling the mother she did the right thing is not appropriate. Neither is it appropriate to advise her to let others make the decision or tell her to postpone the decision.

Answer to Question 2

2. I follow the instructions for mixing the powdered formula exactly..

Rationale:
Powdered and concentrated formula must be mixed according to manufacturer's guidelines. Formula that is too concentrated can lead to excess sodium intake, which creates increased thirst and overfeeding. Soy-based formulas are more expensive than whey-based formulas and are only needed by infants with milk allergies. No information is provided about milk allergy symptoms. Powdered formula is the cheapest, followed by concentrated formula; ready-to-feed formula is the most expensive. Each bottle should contain only enough formula for one feeding, and any formula left after the feeding should be discarded to prevent bacterial growth. Once formula is mixed, it must be used within two hours or refrigerated.
