Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for 4-year-old child who is resistant to taking medication. Which of the following strategies should the nurse use to elicit the child's cooperation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Offer the child a choice of taking the medication with juice or water. By offering the child a choice, the nurse empowers the child and gives them a sense of control, increasing cooperation. This strategy respects the child's autonomy and preferences, making them more likely to participate in taking the medication.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: Telling the child it is candy is deceptive and can lead to trust issues.
B: Threatening the child with a shot instills fear and would not promote cooperation.
C: Hiding the medication in ice cream can lead to distrust and may not address the child's resistance.
Overall, offering choices respects the child's autonomy and promotes cooperation effectively.
