The nurse is questioning the parents of a 2-year-old child to obtain a functional history. Which topics might the nurse include? Select all that apply.

A. An anxiety reaction: The toddler's behavior of sitting quietly, sucking her thumb, and turning away from the nurse when approached after her mother leaves the room suggests anxiety. These

behaviors are common signs of distress or discomfort in young children, especially when separated from their primary attachment figure (in this case, the mother).

B. Regression: Regression involves reverting to earlier, more immature behaviors in response to stress or discomfort. While thumb sucking can be considered a form of regression, the behavior observed in this scenario is more indicative of anxiety rather than a broader regression in

developmental milestones.

C. Resentment toward the mother: There is no evidence in the scenario to suggest that the toddler is expressing resentment toward the mother. The behaviors observed are more likely related to

the child's emotional response to separation and hospitalization.

D. Developing autonomy: Developing autonomy typically involves asserting independence and exploring one's environment. The behaviors observed in the scenario are more indicative of anxiety and distress rather than autonomous behavior.

A. Absorption of drugs administered by subcutaneous injection is increaseD. Subcutaneous absorption can vary based on factors such as blood flow and tissue characteristics, but it is generally slower and more variable compared to intramuscular absorption.

B. Absorption of intramuscularly administered drugs is fairly constant: Intramuscular absorption tends to be more consistent compared to subcutaneous absorption. However, absorption rates can still be affected by factors such as muscle mass and blood flow.

C. Topical drugs are absorbed more quickly in young children than adults: Topical drug absorption can be influenced by factors such as skin thickness and permeability, but absorption rates may not necessarily be faster in young children compared to adults.

D. Oral drugs are absorbed more quickly in children than adults: This statement is generally incorrect. While gastrointestinal transit time may be faster in children, other factors such as

gastric pH and enzymatic activity can affect oral drug absorption, and absorption rates may not always be faster in children compared to adults.
