Question 1 of 5
A parent of a toddler asks a nurse at a well-child visit how the child’s frequent temper tantrums can best be handled. Which of the following actions should the nurse suggest to the parent?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Distract the child by offering to play a game. This option is appropriate because it helps redirect the child's focus from the temper tantrum to a positive activity, thereby diffusing the situation. Restraint (
A) can escalate the tantrum and may harm the child. Ignoring the tantrums (
B) can reinforce the behavior. Telling the child that temper tantrums are not acceptable (
D) without providing an alternative approach does not address the underlying issue.
