The nurse is caring for a young child in the clinic. The mother tells the nurse the child sleepwalks every night. Which statement by the nurse is appropriate?
1. "Are you concerned the child is not getting enough sleep?"
2. "What time does your child goes to bed at night?"
3. "Is the child experiencing any stress at home?"
4. "What do you know about children who sleepwalk?"
3
Rationale:
1. The nurse is more concerned about the reason the child is sleepwalking, not about the amount of sleep the child is getting.
2. The nurse is concerned about the reason the child is sleepwalking, not about the child's nighttime routine.
3. Sleepwalking and sleeptalking sometime occur in school-age children, but usually decrease as the child nears adolescence. Children who have stress at home, such as parental fighting, ill family members, or inadequate food and shelter, often have increased incidence of sleepwalking.
4. It is not necessary to ask this question of this mother at this time. It is more important to determine why the child is sleepwalking.
