    A charge nurse is teaching a newly-licensed nurse about age-appropriate guidelines to prepare a school-age child for a procedure. Which of the following statements indicates that the newly-hired nurse understands the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Using simple diagrams to explain the procedure to a school-age child is an effective way to help them understand. Visual aids are appropriate for this age group. B. School-age children are not developmentally ready to understand long-term consequences of medical procedures in detail. C. Preparing a school-age child 2 days prior to the procedure is generally appropriate for procedures, but not too far in advance. D. A 30-minute session may be too long for a school-age child, who may have limited attention span; shorter sessions are typically more effective.
