Using knowledge of child development, the best approach when preparing a toddler for a procedure is to:
a. Avoid asking the child to make choices.
b. Demonstrate the procedure on a doll.
c. Plan for the teaching session to last about 20 minutes.
d. Show necessary equipment without allowing child to handle it.
ANS: B
Prepare toddlers for procedures by using play. Demonstrate on a doll, but avoid the child's favorite doll because the toddler may think the doll is really "feeling" the procedure. In preparing a toddler for a procedure, the child is allowed to participate in care and help whenever possible. Teaching sessions for toddlers should be about 5 to 10 minutes. Use a small replica of the equipment and allow the child to handle it.
