A previously "potty-trained" 30 month old child had reverted to wearing diapers while hospitalized. The nurse should recognize:

A. Separation from parents should be completed by this age

This statement is not accurate. The age at which a child separates from their parents can vary widely and is influenced by cultural, familial, and individual factors. There is no strict rule that separation should be completed by a specific age, and it can vary from one family to another.

B. Daytime attention should be increased

This statement does not directly address the issue of co-sleeping. It suggests increasing daytime attention but does not provide guidance or understanding about the parents' choice to have their child sleep with them.

C. This is a common practice, especially in some cultural groups

This statement recognizes the cultural diversity in child-rearing practices. Co-sleeping is indeed a common practice in many cultures, and acknowledging this fact helps to avoid making value judgments based on one's own cultural perspective.

D. It is illegal for parents to sleep with their children, and this is reportable abuse

This statement is not accurate. Co-sleeping itself is not illegal, and it is not considered abuse. The appropriateness of co-sleeping can depend on various factors, but it is not inherently illegal or abusive.

A. Perform passive range of motion on the injured knee.

While passive range of motion exercises can be beneficial in some situations, it's important to exercise caution, especially with an injured knee. Without detailed information about the nature and extent of the injury, manipulating the injured area could potentially worsen the pain or cause harm. It is advisable to consult with the healthcare provider before implementing passive range of motion exercises.

B. Put an ice pack on the child's knee.

Applying an ice pack is a nonpharmacological intervention that can help reduce inflammation and provide pain relief for certain types of injuries. It is commonly used in the management of acute injuries to minimize swelling and alleviate discomfort.

C. Have the child watch a favorite program on television.

Distraction is an effective nonpharmacological approach to pain management, especially in children. Allowing the child to engage in a favorite activity, such as watching a program on television, can divert their attention from the pain and contribute to their overall well-being.

D. Read a book to the child.

Reading a book is a comforting and distracting activity. It creates a positive and calming environment, and it can help shift the child's focus away from the pain. This nonpharmacological intervention promotes a sense of comfort and reassurance.
