Feedback:
Ten-year-olds like having their own bedroom or at least their own dresser, where they can store a collection and know it is free from parents' or siblings' eyes. One of the best gifts for a 10-year-old is a box which locks. The nurse found the 10-year-old child's collection and needs to return it where it was found. The child does not have diabetes. The nurse should not throw out the child's collection. The mother does not need to be asked about the child's craving sweets.
