Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a 6-year-old child who has experienced violence at school. Which of the following strategies should the nurse use during their assessment of this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Have toys or drawing materials available for the child. This strategy allows the child to express themselves non-verbally, aiding in communication and processing of the traumatic event.
Toys and drawing materials provide a safe and familiar outlet for the child to convey their feelings and experiences. This approach can help the child feel more comfortable, leading to a more effective assessment.
Choice A is incorrect because forcing the child to repeat the traumatic events can retraumatize them and be emotionally harmful.
Choice B is incorrect as having the caregiver present can provide comfort and support to the child during the assessment.
Choice D is incorrect as focusing only on the physical domain neglects the emotional and psychological aspects of the trauma.
