The nurse is assessing the lung sounds of a preschooler. Which action should the nurse implement to ensure the child's cooperation?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Allowing the child to use a stethoscope on a stuffed animal helps the child understand the purpose of the stethoscope, reduces fear of the unfamiliar device, and encourages cooperation. Other options may distract the child or alter breathing patterns, interfering with the assessment.
