Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 4-year-old child who has a new diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and is distressed after an insulin injection. Which of the following play activities should the nurse recognize as therapeutic in helping the child deal with the injection?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: A needleless syringe and a doll. This play activity is therapeutic as it allows the child to mimic the insulin injection process on the doll using a needleless syringe, helping them understand and cope with the procedure in a playful and non-threatening manner. This play scenario can help reduce fear and anxiety associated with injections by providing a sense of control and familiarity.
Choice A (A storybook about a child who has diabetes) may provide information but does not actively engage the child in coping with the injection process.
Choice B (A period of play in the playroom) is too vague and does not specifically address the child's distress after the injection.
Choice C (A video game) may distract the child but does not directly address the issue at hand.
In summary, the other choices do not actively involve the child in simulating the injection process, which is crucial for helping the child cope with the distress associated with insulin injections.
