Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to the guardian of a preschooler who had a tonsillectomy. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to the parent of a toddler who is scheduled for an electrocardiogram. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Your child can rest on your lap during the procedure. This is the correct statement because toddlers may feel more comfortable and secure being held by a parent during medical procedures, which can help reduce anxiety and improve cooperation. This approach promotes a sense of safety and reassurance for the child.
Choice B is incorrect because it may cause unnecessary worry for the parent and child, as alarms are not typically used during electrocardiograms.
Choice C is incorrect as leads are usually placed on the chest, not the back.
Choice D is incorrect because the duration of an electrocardiogram for a toddler is typically shorter than 30 minutes.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer an enteral feeding to an adolescent who has an NG tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
