Answer to Question 1

2,4
Rationale: Morning sickness can best be treated by reducing intake of fluids for the first hour upon awakening, eating dry toast or crackers, and avoiding spicy or fried foods. Five small meals a day will be tolerated better than three large meals.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Because of the rod placement, this child must be moved and repositioned carefully to avoid strain on the rods. Insufficient information is available about the family's coping mechanism to know if it is healthy or dysfunctional. Admission to the hospital is respite care for the family. This child is unable to ambulate, and is wheelchair-bound.
