4-year-old child afraid of monsters
Question 1 of 5
The parent of a 4-year-old child tells a nurse that the child believes there are monsters hiding in the closets at bedtime. Which one of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Keep a night light on in your child's room. This response is appropriate because a night light can help alleviate the child's fear of monsters by providing a sense of security and comfort in the dark. By keeping the room dimly lit, the child may feel more at ease and be less likely to imagine monsters lurking in the darkness. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) Staying with the child until asleep may reinforce the fear and dependency.
B) Telling the child monsters are not real may invalidate their feelings and not address the underlying fear.
D) Allowing the child to sleep in the parent's bed may create a habit that is difficult to break and may not address the fear of monsters.
