Question 1 of 5
A nurse is discussing discipline techniques with the parent of a preschooler. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of time-out as a form of discipline?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because using a kitchen timer to mark the end of the time-out period ensures consistency and fairness in implementing the discipline technique. This approach helps the child understand the duration of the time-out and sets clear boundaries. This method also prevents the parent from being lenient or harsh in ending the time-out prematurely.
For the other choices:
A: This statement only mentions the duration of the time-out but does not address the consistency or clarity in implementing it.
B: Sending the child to their room might not be specific enough to indicate a proper understanding of time-out.
C: Simply stating that one makes use of time-out does not demonstrate an understanding of how to effectively implement the technique.
E, F, G: No information provided.
