Which type of play should the nurse encourage for a preschool-age child that is hospitalized?
A) Playing an electronic handheld game
B) Dressing in the mother's coat to play house
C) Turning out the lights to play hide and seek
D) Planting flower bulbs that can be watched growing next spring
B
Feedback:
Preschool-age children have active imaginations and dressing up to play house would be an appropriate play activity for the nurse to encourage. The child's fine motor skills are not developed to play an electronic handheld game. Children of this age are afraid of the dark so turning out the lights to play hide and seek is not appropriate. Planting flower bulbs is an activity that is too long-term for this age range.
