a. Tell the child to discuss this with their parents
b. Tell the child not to think about sex
c. Tell the child to wait until the sex education class meets
d. Tell the child that he or she will listen carefully and try to answer the question
D
The child may not wish to discuss this subject with their parents. Telling children not to think about it or to wait until the class meets will likely encourage them to turn to their peers, who are often just as uninformed. The nurse should listen and then provide appropriate counseling.
