The nurse is teaching a new mother the proper techniques for breastfeeding her newborn. Which is a recommended guideline that should be implemented?

A. Set of building blocks: While building blocks can be engaging toys for children, they may not effectively address the emotional needs of a child experiencing distress or separation anxiety. Building blocks are more suitable for activities that promote creativity and fine motor skills.

B. Toy hammer and pounding boarD. Toys that involve physical activity, such as a toy hammer and pounding board, may not be appropriate for a child experiencing emotional distress. These toys may require energy and concentration that the child may not be able to focus on during a tantrum.

C. Picture book about hospitals: While a picture book about hospitals may help familiarize the child with the hospital environment, it may not provide immediate comfort during a tantrum. This type of resource may be more beneficial for preparing the child for medical procedures or explaining what to expect during hospitalization.

D. Stuffed animal: Providing a stuffed animal can offer comfort and reassurance to a child experiencing stress or separation anxiety. A soft and cuddly toy like a stuffed animal can serve as a transitional object, providing emotional support and security when the parent is not present. Children often form attachments to stuffed animals, which can help them cope with unfamiliar or challenging situations.

A. Obtain a detailed history.

Obtaining a detailed history is essential to understand the circumstances surrounding the bruises, including how they occurred, where they are located, and whether there is a plausible

explanation for them. This information helps determine whether the bruises are due to accidental injury or potential abuse.

B. Report the suspected abuse to the authorities.

While reporting suspected abuse may ultimately be necessary if there are concerns about the origin of the bruises, obtaining a detailed history is the initial step to gather information and assess the situation before making a report.

C. Ask a psychiatrist to talk with the parents.

Involving a psychiatrist may be appropriate in cases where there are concerns about the child's mental health or the family dynamics, but it may not address the immediate concern of the bruises without first obtaining a detailed history.

D. Separate the child from the parents.

Separating the child from the parents should not be the first action taken without sufficient evidence or reason to believe that the child is in imminent danger. Gathering information through a detailed history is essential before considering such a drastic measure.
