A 13-month-old child is having a dressing changed on a packed leg wound. Which action from the parents should be encouraged by the nurse during the treatment?
A) Encourage the father to talk quietly to the child.
B) Make sure the father is sitting on a chair near the door.
C) Ask the father to wait outside until the treatment is complete.
D) Have the father hold the child's legs still during the treatment.
A
Feedback:
At the time of a procedure, the nurse should advocate for parents to be able to accompany their infant to hospital departments and remain during procedures to offer support. Some parents may ask to hold their child during a procedure that causes pain, but do not ask parents to restrain the child during such a procedure. Their role should be supportive and comforting and not one that causes pain. The father should be sitting next to the child. The father should be in the room with the child.
