The mother of a 2-year-old expresses concern to the nurse that her child continually climbs out of the crib at home. What should the nurse advise the mother to do?
1. Omit the afternoon nap.
2. Place a crib net over the top of the crib.
3. Remove all objects from around the crib.
4. Restrain the child if he gets up more than once.
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: A child of 2 years should still be taking a nap, and that poses a dangerous situation, at naptime or bedtime, if the child is still crawling out of the crib.
Rationale 2: A crib net will prevent an active child from climbing out of the crib but will allow him freedom to move about in the crib.
Rationale 3: Just removing objects off the floor from around the crib would not prevent a child from climbing out of a crib.
Rationale 4: Restraining the child would be dangerous and contribute even more to his determination of getting out of the crib.
