A nurse in a clinic is caring for a client who is pregnant and asks how she should help her 4-year-old son prepare for the new baby. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

A. "Purchase a gift to give to your son from your baby.": Giving a gift from the new baby helps the older child feel included and valued, reducing feelings of jealousy or displacement. This approach supports positive sibling bonding and eases the transition to the new family dynamic. B. "Surprise your son with a new bedroom after you bring the baby home.": Major changes like moving the child to a new bedroom should be introduced gradually before the baby’s arrival. Sudden changes can increase anxiety and feelings of insecurity during an already stressful transition. C. "Make sure you are holding your baby when your son comes to visit you in the hospital.": This may inadvertently foster jealousy or feelings of neglect in the older child. Allowing the child to participate in care or spend time with the baby under supervision is more supportive of adjustment. D. "Use medical terminology when teaching your son about your new baby.": Preschool-aged children benefit from simple, age-appropriate language. Medical terminology can confuse or overwhelm a 4-year-old, making the learning less effective and increasing anxiety.
