correct. A school-age child is interested in post-death
services and what happens to the body
after death due to an improved ability to comprehend
what is happening. The child recognizes
that death is permanent is not correct. Preschool-age
children have difficulty understanding the
concept of time and are therefore not likely to believe
that death is permanent. They perceive
death as reversible. The child believes his thoughts can
cause death is correct. Preschool-age
children believe that their thoughts and wishes can make
things happen since they are
egocentric.
This is one reason why the death of a family member can
be very difficult for a child at this age.

information should the nurse include?
a. Use a wheeled infant walker.
b. Place soft pillows around the edge of the infant's crib.
❖c. Position the car seat so it is rear-facing.
❖d. Secure a safety gate at the top and bottom of the
stairs.
❖e. Maintain the water heater temperature at 49° C

CDE
Rationale: Using a wheeled infant walker is incorrect. A
stationary infant walker is
recommended. Wheeled infant walkers can quickly move
across uneven surfaces and result in
injury. Placing soft pillows and cushions around the edge
of the infant's crib is incorrect. Soft
pillows and cushions should not be used in cribs due to
the increased risk of suffocation.
