Ati paediatrics nursing assessment proctored exam
A nurse is teaching the parents of a toddler about strategies to manage temper tantrums. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
A. "Honor the child's request if they hold their breath.": Breath-holding spells during tantrums are usually harmless. Giving in reinforces negative behavior. B. "Establish a structured daily routine for the child." Structured routines help toddlers feel secure and can reduce the frequency of tantrums by making expectations predictable. C. "Place the child in their room alone until the temper tantrum ends.": Isolation may frighten the child. A safe space nearby while supervising is better. D. "Comfort the child during the temper tantrum.": Comforting during the tantrum can reinforce the behavior. Instead, calmly wait until the tantrum subsides before offering comfort.
