The adolescent continues to develop self-concept and self-esteem. What is most important to a teen's self-esteem?

A. "Tell me about the circumstances when this occurs.": This response allows the nurse to gather more information about the child's toileting habits and potential triggers for the accidents.

Understanding the context can help identify possible underlying causes and guide appropriate interventions.

B. "Is there a family history of diabetes?": While diabetes can be a cause of increased urination, asking about a family history of diabetes is premature and may unnecessarily alarm the parent before further assessment.

C. "Suddenly having accidents can be a sign of diabetes.": Jumping to conclusions about a serious medical condition like diabetes without further assessment or evidence can cause unnecessary anxiety for the parent. It's important to gather more information and consider other potential causes before suggesting a diagnosis.

D. "That's normal: don't worry about it.": While occasional daytime wetting accidents can be common in young children, dismissing the concern without further assessment may overlook potential underlying issues that could benefit from intervention or support.

A. Change the routine of the preschooler often to stimulate initiativE. While providing variety and new experiences is important for stimulating a child's curiosity and creativity, abruptly changing routines too often can disrupt the child's sense of security and stability. Consistency in routines helps preschoolers feel secure and understand expectations.

B. Do not set limits on the preschooler's behavior as this results in low self-esteem: Setting appropriate limits and boundaries is essential for preschoolers to develop a sense of security and learn socially acceptable behavior. However, overly strict or rigid limits can stifle initiative and creativity. It's important for parents to strike a balance between setting limits and allowing for exploration and initiative.

C. As a parent, decide how and with whom the child will play: Encouraging preschoolers to

make their own choices about play activities and playmates fosters independence and initiative. Parents should provide opportunities for free play and exploration within safe boundaries,

allowing the child to make decisions and learn from their experiences.

D. Reward the child for initiative in order to build self-esteem: Positive reinforcement for initiative-taking behavior encourages preschoolers to explore their environment, try new

activities, and develop confidence in their abilities. By praising and acknowledging their efforts, parents can help build their child's self-esteem and motivation to take on new challenges.
