4) A 7-year-old child is admitted for acute appendicitis. The parents are questioning the nurse
about expectations during the child's recovery. Which information tool would be most useful in
answering a parent's questions about the timing of key events?
1. Healthy People 2020
2. Clinical pathways
3. Child mortality statistics
4. National clinical practice guidelines
Answer: 2
Explanation: 1. Clinical pathways are interdisciplinary documents provided by a hospital to
suggest ideal sequencing and timing of events and interventions for specific diseases to improve
efficiency of care and enhance recovery. This pathway serves as a model outlining the typical
hospital stay for individuals with specified conditions. Healthy People 2020 contains objectives
set by the U.S. government to improve the health and reduce the incidence of death in the
twenty-first century. Child mortality statistics can be compared with those from other decades for
the evaluation of achievement toward health-care goals. National clinical practice guidelines
promote uniformity in care for specific disease conditions by suggesting expected outcomes from
specific interventions.

5) The nurse recognizes that the pediatric client is from a cultural background different from that
of the hospital staff. Which goal is most appropriate for this client when planning nursing care?
1. Overlook or minimize the differences that exist.
2. Facilitate the family's ability to comply with the care needed.
3. Avoid inadvertently offending the family by imposing the nurse's perspective.
4. Encourage complementary beneficial cultural practices as primary therapies.
Answer: 2
Explanation: 1. The incorporation of the family's cultural perspective into the care plan is most
likely to result in the family's ability to accept medical care and comply with the regimen
prescribed. Since culture develops from social learning, attempts to ignore or minimize cultural
consideration will result in mistrust, suspicion, or offenses that can have negative effects upon
the health of children by reducing the resources available to promote health and prevent illness.
Complementary therapy may be used later if other primary therapies prove to be ineffective.
