    A nurse is caring for a school-aged child who is hospitalized. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to promote the client's engagement and general well-being?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Enforcing strict bed rest without any physical activity can lead to feelings of isolation and boredom, which may negatively affect the child's well-being and engagement. B. Allowing the child to decorate their hospital room with personal items fosters a sense of ownership and comfort, helping to promote emotional well-being and engagement during hospitalization. C. Limiting visits can increase feelings of loneliness and anxiety in the child, which is not conducive to their emotional health; maintaining social connections is important for well-being. D. Using medical terms may confuse the child and does not support their understanding or engagement; explanations should be age-appropriate and easily understood.
