A preschool child is scheduled to undergo a diagnostic test. Which action by the nurse would violate a child's bill of health care rights?
A) Arranging for her mother to be with her
B) Telling the child the test will not hurt
C) Assuring the child that the test will be done quickly
D) Introducing the child to the lab technicians
B
Response:
Telling the child the test will not hurt lacks veracity. It is not a lie, but it does not honor the child's right to be educated honestly about his or her health care. Arranging for the mother to be with the child, assuring the child that the test will be done quickly, and introducing the child to the lab technicians are actions that honor the child's bill of health care rights.
