单项选择题
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.
答案
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.
