A 5-year-old is in the playroom when the respiratory therapist arrives on the pediatric unit to give the child a scheduled breathing treatment. The nurse should:
1. Reschedule the treatment for a later time.
2. Show the respiratory therapist to the playroom so the treatment can be performed.
3. Escort the child to his room, and ask the child life specialist to bring toys to the bedside.
4. Assist the child back to his room for the treatment but reassure him that he may return when the procedure is completed.
4
Rationale:
1. Scheduled respiratory treatments should be performed on time.
2. Procedures should not be performed in the playroom.
3. The child should be allowed to return to the playroom as soon as the procedure is completed so child life's bringing toys to the bedside is unnecessary.
4. It is important for scheduled treatments to occur on time, so the child should go back to his room. He can go back to the playroom as soon as the treatment is completed.
