A preschooler experiencing night terrors
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a parent about home interventions for a preschooler who is experiencing night terrors. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Wake your child up during the night terror. This intervention helps disrupt the night terror episode and can help the child transition back to a regular sleep cycle. It prevents the child from becoming fully awake, which can make it harder for them to fall back asleep.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because waiting for tiredness before bedtime, watching an animated movie, and co-sleeping do not address the underlying issue of night terrors. It is important to address the night terrors directly rather than avoiding them or attempting to distract the child.
