Educational level of the childd. Number of responsible adults in the homeANS: BThe child’s developmental stage determines the type of injury that is likely tooccur. The child’s physical health may facilitate the child’s recovery from an injury butdoes not impact the type of injury. Educational level is related to developmental level, but it is not as important as the child’s developmental level in determiningthetype of injury.

Encouraging family dependence on health care systemsc. Recognizing that the family is the constant in a child’s lifed. Excluding families from the decision-making processANS: CThe three key components of family-centered care are respect, collaboration, and support. Family-centered care recognizes the family as the constant in thechild’slife. Taking over total care does not include the family in the process and may increase stress instead of reducing stress. The family should be enabled and empoweredto work with the health care system.

Help the child accept the loss of control associated with hospitalization.d. Help the child accept pain that is connected with a treatment or procedure.ANS: BPreparing the child for any unfamiliar treatments, controlling pain, allowing privacy, providing play activities for expression of fear and aggression, providing choices,and respecting cultural differences are components of atraumatic care. In the provision of atraumatic care, the separation of child from parents during hospitalization isminimized. The nurse should promote a sense of control for the child.

Staff assignments allow the nurse to care for same patient and family over an extended time.c. Nurse is able to withdraw emotionally when emotional overload occurs but still remains committed.d. Nurse uses teaching skills to instruct patient and family rather than doing everything for them.ANS: AAn important clue to a nontherapeutic staff-patient relationship is concern of other staff members. Allowing the nurse to care for the same patient over time would betherapeutic for the patient and family. Nurses who are able to somewhat withdraw emotionally can protect themselves while providing therapeutic care.

Questioning the use of daily central line dressing changesd. Clarifying a physician’s prescription for morphineANS: CThe nurse who questions the daily central line dressing change is ascertaining whether clinical interventions result in positive outcomes for patients. This demonstratesevidence-based practice (EBP), which implies questioning why something is effective and whether a better approach exists.

Which type of nursing diagnosis should the nurse formulate for this child?a. Risk for anxietyb. Anxietyc. Readiness for enhanced copingd. Ineffective copingANS: AA potential problem is categorized as a risk. The toddler has a risk to become anxious when the parents leave. Nursing interventions will be geared toward reducingthe risk.

Appendectomy incision non-reddened, sutures intact, no drainage noted on old dressing, new dressing applied, procedure tolerated well by childd. No changes to appendectomy incisional area, dressing changed, child complained of pain during procedure, new dressing clean, dry and intactANS: CThe nurse should document assessments and reassessments. Appearance of the incision described in objective terms should be included during a dressing change. Thenurse should document patient’s response and the outcomes of the care provided. In this example, these include drainage on the old dressing, the application of thenew dressing,and the child’s response.
