Feedback:
The nurse identifies aggravating factors to help minimize stimuli that exacerbate the child's undesired behaviors. This must be accomplished first before any other interventions would be effective. Improving the child's ability to deal with external stressors is achieved by modifying the environment to decrease distracting stimuli. Actions such as speaking directly to the child and maintaining eye contact promote engagement and an increased ability to follow through. Providing positive feedback encourages the child to adopt expectations into his routine.
