A Incorrect: The nurse is preparing to give a 34-month-old toddler who has a persistent cough some cough syrup.

Avoid use of literal terms like cough your head off when talking with toddlers.
B Correct: The statement by the nurse this medicine will help you feel better and will help your cough go away would best help the toddler understand why he or she is being given this medicine.
C Incorrect: The statement by the nurse if you take this, you won't have to have a stick in the arm would not best help the toddler understand why he or she is being given this medicine. Toddlers are unable to work with abstractions and interpret words literally.
D Incorrect: The statement by the nurse the doctor wants you to take this medicine whenever you have a bad cough would not best help the toddler understand why he or she is being given this medicine.
