    A nurse is speaking with the parent of a 6-year-old child. Which of the following statements made by the parent should concern the nurse?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. A child falling from a swing and not crying or complaining of pain could be a sign of an underlying injury or a serious condition like a head injury or internal bleeding. Immediate evaluation is needed. B. Occasional nightmares and trouble falling asleep are common in young children and are typically not a cause for concern unless they are persistent or interfere with the child’s daily functioning. C. A low-grade fever for a day is common and might be a mild viral illness, but should be monitored to see if it resolves or worsens. D. Engaging in a new hobby like painting is a positive sign of the child’s social and emotional development, not a cause for concern.
