A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a caregiver of a preschool child about factors that affect the child's perception of death. Which of the following factors should the nurse include?

A. Preschool children experience fear related to the disease process. While preschool children may fear pain or separation, this statement does not directly address their perception of death. B. Preschool children understand death completely. Preschool children do not fully understand the permanence of death; this comprehension develops later. C. Preschool children have no concept of death. Preschoolers have some concept of death but often see it as temporary or reversible. D. Preschool children perceive death as temporary. Preschool-aged children often view death as temporary, like sleeping, due to their limited understanding of its finality.
