Answer to Question 1

C
One of the most common methods of selecting priorities is the use of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which requires that life-threatening diagnoses be given more urgency that non-life-threatening diagnoses. Once the basic physiological needs are met, the nurse can consider needs on the next level of the hierarchy and so on up the hierarchy until all of the patient's nursing diagnoses have been prioritized.

Answer to Question 2

2. It is often difficult to predict when a simple complaint will become more serious..

Rationale:
Parents often react to a child's illness with feelings of guilt for not recognizing the severity of the condition sooner. A response that provides emotional support and reduces parental anxiety encourages parents to feel confident in their abilities as a caregiver. Saying that everything is okay ignores the mother's feelings. Telling the mother to bring the child to the hospital immediately with every illness is not sound advice, and saying that she made a mistake adds to the parent's sense of guilt.
