Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing a 6-year-old child for cardiac surgery. Which preoperative teaching technique is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Practicing postoperative procedures like coughing and deep breathing helps a 6-year-old understand and prepare for recovery, reducing fear.
Question 2 of 5
A parent brings a 3-week-old infant to the clinic. The parent states that the baby does not eat very well. She takes 45 cc of formula in 45 minutes and gets 'tired and sweaty' when eating. The nurse observes the baby sleeping in the parent's arms. Her color is pink, and the child is breathing without difficulty. What is the best response for the nurse to make?
Correct Answer: C
