A nurse is preparing to perform a dressing change on a 6-year-old client with mild cognitive impairment (CI) from a sport injury. Which strategy should the nurse use to prepare the child for the dressing change?

A. Demonstrating the dressing change with a doll is an excellent strategy for helping a child understand the procedure. It makes the experience less threatening and prepares the child for what will happen. B. Distracting the child may not provide enough information or control over the situation, especially if the child is anxious. The child should be informed and comforted through understanding. C. Watching a video may not be as effective as hands-on demonstration, especially for younger children, as it may not provide the same reassurance or tangible interaction. D. Having the child assist with the dressing change might be a good strategy for involving the child, but it might not be appropriate if the child is too anxious or if the cognitive impairment prevents the child from fully understanding the procedure.
