The nurse is preparing teaching materials for the parents of a child with encopresis. What information should the nurse emphasize during this teaching?
A) Not punishing the child for the condition
B) Necessity for giving 4 to 6 tablespoons of Kaopectate per day
C) Need for keeping the child close to bathroom facilities at all times
D) Importance of cleaning the child immediately after an accident occurs
A
Feedback:
Encopresis is the inappropriate passage of stool in places not culturally appropriate for that purpose. Parents should not punish the child for encopresis but rather to pay as little attention as possible to bowel accidents and to give praise for days when encopresis does not occur. The child does not need Kaopectate every day. The child does not need to be close to bathroom facilities at all times. The child does not experience diarrhea soiling after accidents would not be of a high priority for teaching.
