A description of what the child will feel and see during procedure c. An explanation about the dye that will go directly into his vein d. An assurance to the child that he and the nurse can talk about the procedure when it is over ANS: B For a preschooler, the provision of sensory information about what to expect during the procedure will enhance the child’s ability to cope with the events of the procedure and will decrease anxiety. Explaining the procedure in detail is probably more than the 5- year-old child can comprehend, and it will likely produce anxiety. Using the word “dye” with a preschooler can be frightening for the child. The child needs information before the procedure.

An important consideration for the nurse who is communicating with a 5-year-old child is to a. speak loudly, clearly, and directly. b. use picture or story books, or puppets. c. disguise own feelings, attitudes, and anxiety. . d. initiate contact with child when parent is not present. ANS: B Using objects such as a puppet or doll allows the young child an opportunity to evaluate an unfamiliar person (the nurse). This will facilitate communication with a child of this age. Speaking in this manner will tend to increase anxiety in very young children as they may interpret this as being yelled at. The nurse must be honest with the child. Attempts at deception will lead to a lack of trust. Whenever possible, the parent should be present for interactions with young children.
