A nurse is teaching the guardian of a newborn about how to prepare their 3-year-old child to meet their new sibling. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Provide a doll for your 3-year-old child to imitate parental behaviors. This is the best choice as it allows the older sibling to role-play and learn about caregiving, fostering a sense of involvement and preparation for the new sibling. Choice A is incorrect as it may create unnecessary anxiety for the child. Choice C may oversimplify the situation and not adequately prepare the child. Choice D is incorrect as it is important to prepare the older sibling before the arrival of the newborn.
