When a child asks the school nurse a question about sexuality, the nurse should tell the child:
a. To discuss this with his or her parents
b. To focus on topics other than sex
c. To wait until the sex education class meets
d. That he or she will listen carefully and try to answer the question
D
The child may not wish to discuss this subject with his or her 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.
