"You will need to have another surgery when you turn 14 years old." 4
"Once your tonsils are fixed, you will not have any more sore throats." -
CORRECT ANSWER -✓✓1
The child does not have enough knowledge about the tonsillectomy. Therefore
the child may have fear about the surgery. The nurse should explain to the child
that once the tonsils are removed, they do not need "fixing" again. It helps
relieve the child's fear about the operation, and the child may feel comfortable.
Once the tonsillectomy has been done in the child, a
second operation is not required after another throat infection. There will
actually not be a need for repeating the operation at any age. The child needs to
be instructed that there may be other sore throats in the future. However, the
child needs to be reassured that future sore throats will not require surgery.

of detachment. The child starts interacting with strangers and takes an increased
interest in the surroundings or sits in a corner and plays with a toy.
