Answer to Question 1

A
These strategies can be used to reduce preschooler's fears when they are hospitalized: allowing children to sit up when performing assessments and procedures; allowing the child to see and handle equipment; allowing the child to assist with the procedure if appropriate; giving simple and factual information to these children because they have a great sense of imagination.

Answer to Question 2

D
The lungs assist with ventilation, the movement of air in and out of the lungs, and diffusion, the movement of gases between air spaces and the bloodstream. Respiration is the exchange of oxy-gen and carbon dioxide during cellular metabolism. The heart supports perfusion, the movement of blood into and out of the lungs to the body's organs and tissues.
