7-year-old girl afraid of school
Question 1 of 5
The mother of a 7-year-old girl tells the school nurse that her child is deathly afraid of going to school. What would be the best intervention the nurse could suggest in this situation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because returning the child to school and investigating the cause of the fear allows for proper assessment and intervention. By investigating the root cause, the nurse can address any underlying issues contributing to the fear, such as bullying, separation anxiety, or academic struggles. This approach promotes early identification and appropriate support for the child.
Choice B is incorrect as it uses a punitive approach that may exacerbate the child's fear and does not address the underlying cause.
Choice C is incorrect as it avoids addressing the issue directly and may prolong the child's distress.
Choice D is incorrect as changing schools may not address the root cause of the fear and could disrupt the child's routine further.
