Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The 6-year-old will have a shorter attention span than will an adult, and will learn better with active learning episodes.

Answer to Question 2

3,4
Rationale: A dark quiet room is important to reduce stimuli. Family members should be encouraged to talk to the client in a soft voice with minimal touching. Visitors should be limited but not completely disallowed. Care should be provided throughout the day for short periods of time to limit extended stress and stimulation. Elevating the head of the bed is important to reducing intracranial pressure, but has no effect on stimulation.
