C) "We should wake the child up gently and return the child to bed.".
D) "We should keep the child awake in the living room to play before going to bed.".
C
Feedback:
It is untrue that sleepwalkers should not be wakened. The child should be woken gently, be reoriented, and then returned to bed after reassurance of being safe. The child can be woken up. The child should not be shaken. The child should not be encouraged to play before going back to bed.
