    A nurse is reinforcing teaching to the caregivers of a child who is to have an electroencephalogram (EEG). Which of the following statements by the caregivers indicates understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "I cannot wash my child's hair prior to the procedure.": Hair should be clean and free of oils or products to ensure proper electrode placement and signal conduction. B. "This procedure will be painful for my child.": An EEG is a non-invasive and painless test. C. "I should not give my child anything to eat prior to the procedure.": Eating is usually permitted before an EEG unless sedation is planned. D. "My child should remain quiet and still during this procedure.": Movement can interfere with the test's accuracy, so the child needs to stay calm and still during the procedure.
