    A nurse is evaluating newly hired nurse's understanding about stress in school-age children who are 6 to 12 years old. Which of the following statements made by the newly hired nurse demonstrates an understanding? (Select All that Apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "Caregivers should come up with solutions to the child's stressors.": While caregivers provide support and guidance, school-age children benefit from learning problem-solving skills themselves, so solutions should involve the child rather than being imposed entirely by the caregiver. B. "Children with a high self-esteem are better equipped to handle stress.": High self-esteem helps children feel capable of managing challenges, making them more resilient when facing stressors in school, social situations, or family life. C. "Children with stress should avoid media that produces fear and anxiety.": Exposure to frightening or anxiety-inducing media can exacerbate stress, so limiting such content helps protect the child’s emotional well-being. D. "Encourage children to participate in physical activity.": Physical activity helps reduce stress by promoting endorphin release, improving mood, and providing a healthy outlet for tension. E. "Allow children to have some control over their life.": Giving school-age children appropriate choices fosters a sense of autonomy and competence, which reduces feelings of helplessness and enhances coping skills.
