A mother is concerned that a 7-year-old child has taken money from a sibling's dresser several times. What should the nurse advise the mother about this behavior?
A) The child needs to be reminded of property rights.
B) Stealing is unusual for a 7-year-old and needs to be investigated.
C) The mother should purchase a bank for the other child that cannot be opened.
D) The mother should talk to the child's teacher about putting less pressure on the child.
A
Feedback:
Early childhood stealing is best handled without a great deal of emotion. A parent should tell the child the money is missing. The importance of property rights should be reviewed: The sibling's money is his, the child's money is the child's, and they are not interchangeable. Stealing is not unusual for a 7-year-old child. The mother does not need to buy the other child a bank. The behavior does not necessarily occur because of school-related stress.

The patient at 9 weeks' gestation has been told that her HIV test was positive
The patient is very upset, and tells the nurse, "I didn't know I had HIV! What will this do to my baby?" The nurse knows teaching has been effective when the patient states: 1. "I cannot take the medications that control HIV during my pregnancy, because they will harm the baby." 2. "My baby will probably be born with anti-HIV antibodies, but that doesn't mean my baby is infected." 3. "The pregnancy will increase the progression of my disease and will reduce my CD4 counts." 4. "The HIV won't affect my baby, and I will have a low-risk pregnancy without additional testing."
