& Atraumatic Nursing
Stem: A 3-year-old is admitted for fracture
repair. The parents ask to stay with the child
during procedures. Which nursing action best
supports family-centered, atraumatic care?
A. Restrict parents to the waiting area during
invasive procedures.
B. Encourage parents to stay and coach the
child during nonsterile procedures.
C. Tell parents to leave so staff can work faster
and reduce anxiety.
D. Allow parents only during medication
administration.
,Correct Answer: B
Rationales:
• Correct (B): Encouraging parents to stay and
coach during nonsterile procedures
promotes family-centered care and reduces
child stress, consistent with atraumatic
nursing principles.
• Incorrect (A): Restricting parents during all
procedures contradicts family partnerships
and increases child distress.
• Incorrect (C): Excluding parents “to work
faster” ignores evidence that parental
presence often reduces anxiety and
improves cooperation.
• Incorrect (D): Allowing presence only for
medications is arbitrary and not aligned
with individualized, family-centered
planning.
,Teaching Point: Partner with families to reduce
child distress and support coping.

Anticipatory Guidance & Injury Prevention
Stem: A parent of a 9-month-old asks which
home safety measure is highest priority. The
infant is starting to pull to stand. Which
instruction should the nurse emphasize first?
A. Install a safety gate at stairs and supervise
near steps.
B. Teach the infant not to climb on furniture.
C. Remove small toys from the floor to prevent
choking.
, D. Place soft pillows around furniture to cushion
falls.
Correct Answer: A
Rationales:
• Correct (A): For an infant pulling to stand,
installing safety gates and supervising stairs
prevent the highest-risk injury (falls from
stairs). This aligns with anticipatory
guidance.
• Incorrect (B): Telling an infant “not to climb”
is developmentally inappropriate;
supervision and environmental
modifications are more effective.
• Incorrect (C): Choking prevention is
important but less immediately related to
rising/pulling mobility at this stage.
• Incorrect (D): Pillows can give a false sense
of safety and are not an effective prevention
for stair falls.
