3-year-old child
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer an IM injection to a 3-year-old child. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "You will only feel a little stick." This statement is appropriate for a 3-year-old child as it is reassuring, concise, and prepares the child for the sensation of the injection without causing unnecessary fear. It uses simple language that a young child can understand and minimizes anxiety.
Choice B is incorrect because it incentivizes the child not to cry, which may create unnecessary pressure and stress for the child.
Choice C is incorrect because it oversimplifies the purpose of the medication and may lead to misconceptions about its effects.
Choice D is incorrect as it gives the child too much control over the situation, which may not be appropriate for a medical procedure.
In summary, choice A is the most appropriate as it is clear, reassuring, and provides necessary information without causing distress.
