Question 1 of 5
In planning care for children, the nurse considers children's anxiety about hospitalization. Which measure should be included in the child's plan of care to help reduce anxiety?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Therapeutic play should be included in the child's plan of care to help reduce anxiety during hospitalization. It is an effective strategy that allows children to express their feelings, understand procedures, and reduce anxiety levels. Time-out (choice B) is not suitable for addressing anxiety related to hospitalization. Counseling (choice C) may be beneficial but is not as specifically tailored to reduce anxiety in the hospital setting as therapeutic play. Movies (choice D) may provide a temporary distraction but do not actively involve the child in addressing their emotions and fears associated with hospitalization.
