a. Leaning away from the preschooler
b. Frequent eye contact
c. Hands on hips
d. Conversing at eye level
e. Asking the parents to stay in the room
B, D
Feedback
Correct Frequent eye contact and conversing at eye level are both open body
postures that encourage positive communication.
Incorrect Leaning away from the child and placing your hands on your hips are both
closed body postures that do not facilitate effective communication.
Asking the parents to stay in the room while the nurse is talking to the
child is helpful but is not an open body posture.
