Question: Tina is 5 years old, lives with her mother and grandmother. Mother works 2 jobs to help support her mother and her daughter. Tina is well cared for but is now admitted for a cardiac catheterization due to the Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) that was noted at birth.

Tina has an extensive history of respiratory infections and a nursing diagnosis of 'activity intolerance'. Her mother relates that she does not allow her to play organized or competitive games due to her health. Tina smiles broadly when you come in the room to begin the pre-operative checklist. She starts to ask you a question when her grandmother tells her she must stay in the bed. "The nurse knows what she is doing and you will just be in the way." Tina continues to smile at you but moves back to the bed.

1. You have identified some unique family dynamics, please relate.

2. What is the Erikson developmental level that Tina should exhibit? And where do you think she is?

3. How can you assist in the developmental growth?

4. What education can you give to Tina and her grandmother pre operatively?

5. What will she expect post operatively?
