Answer:

The best answer to the question: What statemenet indicates to the nurse that the instructions about the PCA pump have been understood? Would be: "My child needs to push the button of the pump whenever she needs the pain medication."

Explanation:

Morphine is a pretty strong analgesic, the stronges there is short of sedation, and it can become adictive. Although in this case the PCA has been programmed to be capable of delivering a bolus of morphine every 6 minutes to the child, what is important is to teach both parents and child that this medication should only be used when truly necessary, and not at a regular interval, when it is not necessary. This is not an antibiotic, which requires regular administration. Rather, the purpose is for the patient and her parent to understand that it is important to use it only when it becomes absolutely necessary. The parent saying that the button should be used only when pain requires the medicatio, indicates that at least he/she has understood the importance of not using the medication all the time.

Reason for first answer (chemical spills and fires) it mentions that Kyle makes sure that "the storage of chemicals--" are all correct, having that being said he makes sure that there are no chemical spills. The reason for fire is becuase it mention that he makes sure the oxygen tanks are properly stored. Well certain chemicals (when mixed with oxygen) can cuase a fire, therefore fire is a good answer for rather it's a two options answer or just one. Hope this helps!
