Ati nur223g paediatrics sect 2 final proctored exam
A parent of a toddler asks a nurse at a well-child visit how the child's frequent temper tantrums can best be handled. Which of the following actions should the nurse suggest to the parent?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Telling the child that temper tantrums are unacceptable may not be effective, as toddlers may not fully understand this concept. B. Ignoring temper tantrums is often recommended because giving attention to the tantrum can reinforce the behavior. Consistently ignoring the tantrum can help decrease their frequency over time. C. While distraction can sometimes be effective, it may not work in the middle of a tantrum when the child is already upset. D. Physically restraining the child is not recommended as it can escalate the situation and lead to further distress.
