A nurse makes the decision to apply a topical anesthetic to a child's skin before drawing blood. Which ethical principle is the nurse demonstrating?

Question 3 of 5
Amy, age 6 years, needs to be hospitalized again because of a chronic illness. The clinic nurse overhears her school-age siblings tell her, "We are sick of Mom always sitting with you in the hospital and playing with you. It isn't fair that you get everything and we have to stay with the neighbors." Which is the nurse's best assessment of this situation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Jealousy and resentment are common reactions among siblings when one child requires more attention due to illness or hospitalization. It is natural for siblings to feel left out, overlooked, or envious of the extra attention the sick child is receiving. These feelings do not necessarily indicate immaturity or being spoiled but rather a normal emotional response to a challenging family situation. It is important for healthcare providers to recognize and address these feelings to support the entire family in coping with the chronic illness of one of their members.

Question 5 of 5
Which is descriptive of bulimia during adolescence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: During adolescence, individuals with bulimia often have a profound lack of awareness that their eating pattern is abnormal. This lack of awareness can be attributed to various factors, such as societal pressures, distorted body image, and the normalization of disordered eating behaviors within their social circle. Adolescents with bulimia may not recognize their behaviors as problematic or may rationalize them as a means of coping with stress or controlling their weight. This lack of insight can make it challenging for them to seek help or receive proper treatment for their condition.
