A child is scheduled for a tonsillectomy and is afraid of the surgery. The child asks the nurse,
"Will I need another operation when I have a sore throat again?" Which response should the
nurse give to the child?
1
"Once your tonsils are taken out, you will not need the surgery again."
2
"You will need to repeat the surgery when you have another infection."
3
"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." - 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.

Young children's posthospital behaviors include: They show initial aloofness toward parents;
this may last from a few minutes (most common) to a few days. This is frequently followed by
dependency behaviors: tendency to cling to parents; demands for parents' attention; vigorous
opposition to any separation (e.g., staying at preschool or with a babysitter). Other negative
behaviors include: new fears (e.g., nightmares); resistance to going to bed, night waking;
withdrawal and shyness; hyperactivity; temper tantrums; food peculiarities; attachment to
blanket or toy; regression in newly learned skills (e.g., self-toileting). Posthospital behaviors
for older children include negative behaviors: emotional coldness followed by intense,
demanding dependence on parents; anger toward parents; jealousy toward others (e.g.,
siblings).

Children often undergo separation anxiety when they are separated from their parents. This
separation anxiety manifests in different stages such as protest, despair, and detachment.
Protest is the first stage of separation anxiety, during which the child screams, cries, or hits
the other person for separating him or her from the parents. After this stage, the child enters
the stage of despair, where the child begins to withdraw from others and stay depressed.
During this stage, the child starts wetting the bed and sucking the thumb because of fear and
anxiety. After the stage of despair, the child enters the stage 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.
A child is hospitalized for treatment of the flu. Once the child's parents leave, the child starts
crying, looks for parents, attempts to leave, refuses to take medicine, hits other children, and
breaks toys. What should the nurse conclude from the child's behavior? The child is in the:
1
Protest stage.

Despair stage.
