A group of children on one hospital unit are all suffering separation anxiety. When determining the stages of separation anxiety, the nurse recognizes that the child in the "despair" phase is the child who:
1. Does not cry if his parents return and leave again.
2. Screams and cries when his parents leave.
3. Appears to be happy and content with staff.
4. Lies quietly in bed.

Rationale:
1. The young child who appears to be happy and content with everyone is in the "denial" stage, as is the child who does not cry if his parents return and leave again.
2. Screaming and crying are components of the "protest" stage.
3. The young child who appears to be happy and content with everyone is in the "denial" stage, as is the child who does not cry if his parents return and leave again.
4. Children in the "despair" stage appear sad, depressed, or withdrawn. A child who is lying in bed might be exhibiting any of these.
