The nurse is providing guidance after observing a mother interact with her negative 2-year-old boy. For which interaction will the nurse advise the mother that she is handling the negativism properly?
A) Telling the child to stop tearing pages from magazines
B) Asking the child if he would please quit throwing toys
C) Telling the child firmly that we don't scream in the office
D) Saying, "Please come over here and sit in this chair. OK?"
C
Feedback:
Telling the child firmly that we don't scream in the office gets the point across to the child that his behavior is unacceptable while role modeling appropriate communication. Telling the child to stop tearing up magazines does not give him direction for appropriate behavior. Asking the child if he would quit throwing toys gives him an opportunity to say "no," and is the same as asking "OK?" at the end of a direction.
