Question 1 of 5

April, a 10-year-old admitted to inpatient pediatric care, has been getting more and more wound up and is losing self-control in the day room. Time-out does not appear to be an effective tool for April to engage in self-reflection. April’s mother admits to putting her in time-out up to 20 times a day. The nurse recognizes that:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Time-out is no longer an effective therapeutic measure. In this scenario, April's escalating behavior and the ineffectiveness of time-out suggest that it is not addressing the underlying issues causing her behavior. Continuous use of time-out can lead to it losing its effectiveness and may not promote self-reflection. April's behavior worsening despite frequent use of time-out indicates the need for a different approach to address her needs.



Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not address the situation at hand.
Choice A assumes time-out is still effective despite evidence to the contrary.
Choice C assumes April enjoys time-out, which is not supported by the information given.
Choice D suggests a drastic and inappropriate measure of seclusion and restraint, which should only be used as a last resort in emergency situations.
