Extract:

Question 1 of 5

A preschool child is placed in traction for a femur fracture. The child has started bedwetting, even though the child has been toilet trained for a year. The mother is very upset about the situation. The nurse explains to the mother that this behavior should be recognized as which psychosocial adaptation?

A. A body image disturbance B. Attention-seeking behavior C. Opposition to authority figures D. Regressing to earlier developmental behavior

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The monotony of immobilization can lead to sluggish intellectual and psychomotor responses. Regressive behaviors are not uncommon in immobilized children, and they usually do not require professional intervention. Body image may or may not be affected by long-term immobilization, but it does not relate to the information presented in the question. The remaining options are not relevant to the described situation.
