The nurse is assessing the lung sounds of a preschooler. Which action should the nurse Implement to ensure the child's cooperation?

Correct answer: D A. This can be a good distraction technique, but it might not directly facilitate the lung sound assessment. B. This activity might help engage the child but could make it difficult for the nurse to listen to breath sounds accurately. C. Holding a toy might keep the child occupied but does not directly relate to the assessment process and might not ensure cooperation as effectively as using a stethoscope on a stuffed animal. D. Allowing the child to use the stethoscope on a stuffed animal can help reduce fear and anxiety by making the procedure more familiar and less intimidating. It engages the child in a playful and interactive manner, helping to build trust and cooperation.
