Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning to reinforce teaching with a preschooler who is about to undergo an incision and drainage for cellulitis on the left arm. Which of the following techniques should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Help the child put a dressing on a doll. This technique allows the preschooler to engage in a hands-on activity that can help them understand the upcoming procedure in a non-threatening manner. By practicing dressing the doll, the child can gain a sense of control and mastery over the situation, reducing anxiety and fear. This technique also provides an opportunity for the nurse to assess the child's understanding and address any misconceptions.
Option A is incorrect because a 30-minute instructional session may be too long and overwhelming for a preschooler. Option B is incorrect as scheduling the session too close to the procedure may increase anxiety. Option C, taking the child on a tour of the surgery and recovery areas, may be intimidating and increase fear. Options E, F, and G are not provided, but they would likely be incorrect as they do not involve hands-on, interactive learning tailored to a preschooler's developmental stage.
