Passage / Scenario
A nurse is preparing to perform a dressing change on a 6-year-old client with mild cognitive impairment (CI) from a sport injury.Which strategy should the nurse use to prepare the child for the dressing change?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A because demonstrating the dressing change with a doll allows the child to visually understand what will happen, reducing anxiety and fear. This method provides a hands-on experience without causing any discomfort to the child. Choice B may lead to the child feeling ignored or anxious. Choice C may not provide the child with a clear understanding of the procedure. Choice D may overwhelm the child and cause distress.
