Question 5: Simon begins to complain of chest tightness he is beginning to get distressed what may be occurring and what interventions need to be undertaken.
An asthma attack partially brought on by the psychological stress of the surgery and being in the hospital, combined with the physical trauma is likely. Simon, physician permitting, should be allowed with assistance to treat his asthma in the usual fashion, after screening for potentially more serious conditions that can manifest in chest tightness, such as a cardiac condition.
Question 6: You notice that Simon has become disoriented and is complaining of a headache what may be occurring and what interventions need to be undertaken?
Signs and symptoms of a concussion, the result of head trauma, are not always immediately apparent. While rest, which Simon should be receiving in ample amounts, is the best treatment for a concussion, he should be formally evaluated for the condition, to see if he also feels nausea or has ringing in his ears, for example, to see if he has such a trauma, or a more serious injury to his head.
Question 7: What additional nursing considerations should you have when caring for a pediatric patient such as Simon?

Because of Simon's geographic isolation, some care plan must be created that allows Simon and his family to feasibly receive treatment from competent medical staff. Simon's parents (and Simon, as much as he is capable of doing, given his age) must also know how to monitor their son for signs of allergic reactions or overdoses to any medications he receives, how to monitor and 'rate' his pain on a pain scale, and when to seek immediate assistance -- if for example his asthma is out-of-control or he experiences a reaction to his medication related or unrelated to his asthma. Because of their isolation and busy home lives, additional assistance from a nurse provider may be required to ensure a full recovery.

However, that does
