When a preschool child is hospitalized without adequate preparation, the nurse should
recognize that the
child may likely see hospitalization as:
a. Punishment. c. An opportunity for regression.
b. Threat to childs self-image. d. Loss of companionship with friends. - Answer ✓✓ANS: A
If a toddler is not prepared for hospitalization, a typical preschooler fantasy is to attribute the
hospitalization to
punishment for real or imagined misdeeds. Threat to childs self-image and loss of
companionship with friends
are reactions typical of school-age children. Regression is a response characteristic of toddlers
when threatened
with loss of control.
Because of their striving for independence and productivity, which age-group of children is
particularly
vulnerable to events that may lessen their feeling of control and power?
a. Infants c. Preschoolers
b. Toddlers d. School-age children - Answer ✓✓ANS: D
When a child is hospitalized, the altered family role, physical disability, loss of peer
acceptance, lack of
productivity, and inability to cope with stress usurp individual power and identity. This is
especially
Test Bank - Maternal Child Nursing Care by Perry (6th Edition, 2017) 614
detrimental to school-age children, who are striving for independence and productivity and
are now
experiencing events that lessen their control and power. Infants, toddlers, and preschoolers,
although affected
by loss of power, are not as significantly affected as are school-age children.

Siblings experience loneliness, fear, worry, anger, resentment, jealousy, and guilt. The siblings
experience
stress equal to that of the hospitalized child. These are not uncommon responses by normal
siblings. There is
no evidence that the family has maladaptive coping or that the siblings lack understanding.
An appropriate nursing intervention to minimize separation anxiety in a hospitalized toddler
is to:
a. Provide for privacy.
b. Encourage parents to room in.
c. Explain procedures and routines.
d. Encourage contact with children the same age. - Answer ✓✓ANS: B

avoid this, the
parents should be encouraged to room in as much as possible. Maintaining routines and
ensuring privacy are
helpful interventions, but they would not substitute for the parents. Contact with same-aged
children would not
substitute for having the parents present.
