Passage / Scenario
A nurse is planning care for a preschooler who has autism spectrum disorder.Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Establish a reward system. This intervention is important in pediatric nursing to promote positive behavior and compliance with treatments. By providing incentives, the child is motivated to participate in their care. Holding the child during assessments (A) may hinder the assessment process. Maintaining extended eye contact (C) can be intimidating for some children. Engaging in cooperative play (D) may not be relevant to the specific care plan. Choices E, F, and G are not provided but based on the context, they would likely be incorrect since they are not related to interventions for promoting cooperation in pediatric care.
