The nurse is caring for a toddler with Down syndrome. To help the toddler cope with painful procedures, the nurse can
A.prepare the child by positive self-talk.
B.establish a time limit to get ready for the procedure.
C.hold and rock him and give him a security object.
D.count and sing with the child.
参考答案:C
解析:The child with Down syndrome may have difficulty coping with painful procedures and may regress during his illness. Holding, rocking, and giving the child a security object may be comforting to the child. An older child or a child without Down syndrome may benefit from positive self-talk, time limits, and diversionary tactics, such as counting and singing; but the success of these tactics depends on the child.
