A nurse is discussing discipline techniques with the parent of a pre-schooler. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of time-out as a form of discipline?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer is D because using a kitchen timer to mark the end of the time-out period is a key component of effective time-out discipline. This method helps the child understand the specific duration of the time-out and provides consistency in the discipline process. Choice A lacks specificity on the duration, choice B lacks a clear time frame, and choice C introduces warnings before time-out, which may undermine its effectiveness.
