Ati paediatrics Proctored Exam 1
A nurse is caring for a 4-year-old child who is hospitalized with a respiratory illness and wet the bed overnight. When the parents visit the next day, the nurse explains the situation and one of the parents says, "She never wets the bed at home. I am so embarrassed." Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Explanation & Rationale
A. This response is confrontational and may make the parent feel defensive rather than supported. It does not address the parent’s concerns about their child's behavior. B. While reassuring, this response downplays the parent's feelings and does not provide relevant information about why regression may occur during hospitalization. C. This response normalizes the behavior and educates the parent that regression can happen during stressful events like hospitalization, providing reassurance that the child’s skills will return. D. Although this response shows empathy, it may not provide the educational information that the parent needs to understand the situation.
