A nurse is planning care for a 4-year-old child who has been admitted to the hospital. Which of the following toys should the nurse plan to provide the child?

A. "You should bring the infant's favourite blanket to the hospital." Bringing the infant's favourite blanket can provide comfort and a sense of security in an unfamiliar hospital environment. It helps the child feel more at ease and can reduce anxiety and stress associated with hospitalization.

B. "You should begin to manipulate the infant's bedtime based on the hospital’s visiting hours." Disrupting the infant’s usual sleep routine can lead to increased stress and irritability. It is better to maintain familiar routines as much as possible to provide comfort and stability during the hospital stay.

C. "You should read the child a story about hospitalization." At 8 months, an infant may not comprehend stories about hospitalization. Reading stories is more effective for older children who can understand and process the information. The focus for infants should be on comfort and familiarity.

D. "You will need to go home when it is not visiting hours." Parents are typically encouraged to stay with their young children in the hospital whenever possible. Parental presence is crucial for the infant’s emotional well-being and can help reduce anxiety.

Inject insulin in the deltoid muscle: Insulin is administered subcutaneously, not intramuscularly. Common sites for insulin injection include the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms.

B. Take glyburide with breakfast: Glyburide is an oral hypoglycemic agent used for type 2 diabetes, not type 1 diabetes. Adolescents with type 1 diabetes require insulin.

C. Obtain an influenza vaccine annually: People with diabetes are at higher risk for complications from influenza, so annual vaccination is recommended to prevent illness.

D. Administer glucagon for hyperglycemia: Glucagon is used to treat severe hypoglycaemia, not hyperglycaemia. For hyperglycemia, insulin administration and monitoring blood glucose levels are key.
