Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a hospitalized 14-year-old child who is placed in Crutchfield traction. The child is having difficulty adjusting to the length of the hospital confinement. Which nursing action would be appropriate to meet the child's needs?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: An adolescent needs to identify with peers and has a strong need to belong to a group. The child should be allowed to wear his or her own clothes to feel a sense of belonging to the group. The adolescent likes to dress like the group and to wear similar hairstyles. Loud music may disturb others in the hospital. Because Crutchfield traction involves the use of skeletal pins, hair dye is not appropriate. The child's request for a darkened room is indicative of a possible problem with depression that may require further evaluation and intervention.
