Which of the following will be included in the planning? Select all that apply.

Choice A rationale

Frequently reminding a child that only bad children have temper tantrums is not an effective strategy for managing tantrums. This approach can make the child feel bad about themselves and does not help them learn how to manage their emotions. It’s important to remember that tantrums are a normal part of toddler development and are not a sign that a child is bad.

Choice B rationale

Ignoring the tantrum as long as there is no physical danger is a recommended strategy for managing tantrums. By not giving attention to the tantrum, parents can avoid reinforcing the behavior. Once the tantrum is over, parents can give attention and praise to the child for calming down.

Choice C rationale

Sending a child to a quiet zone for 10 minutes after each tantrum can be an effective strategy for some children. However, this approach may not work for all children and is not typically the first strategy recommended by experts. It’s also important to note that the “quiet zone” should not be used as a punishment, but rather a place for the child to calm down.

Choice D rationale

Patiently reassuring a child until the tantrum ends is not typically recommended. This approach can actually prolong the tantrum by giving the child attention for the behavior. It’s generally more effective to ignore the tantrum and then give attention and praise once the child has calmed down.

Choice A rationale

Providing a detailed technical explanation using medical terminology is not an appropriate action when obtaining informed consent for a child. Medical terminology can be complex and difficult for non-medical professionals to understand. Therefore, it is important to explain the information in a way that is easy for the parents and the child (if appropriate) to understand.

Choice B rationale

Ensuring the parents were not pressured to give consent and the consent forms were provided is an appropriate action when obtaining informed consent for a child. It is important that the decision to consent is made freely and without coercion.

Choice C rationale

Explaining the potential adverse effects and benefits is an appropriate action when obtaining informed consent for a child. Parents must be fully informed about the potential risks and benefits of a procedure or treatment to make an informed decision.

Choice D rationale

Providing alternative options for treatment and explaining the possible risks of negative outcomes is an appropriate action when obtaining informed consent for a child. Parents should be aware of all available treatment options and their potential outcomes to make an informed decision.
