A first-time father calls the pediatric nurse stating he is concerned that his 4-year-old daughter still wets the bed almost every night. He says he is feeling frustrated and he remembers that when he was 4, he was punished if he wet the bed.
 
  He tells the nurse he's not sure disciplining the child for this behavior is a good idea but he is concerned. Which of the following statements made by the nurse would be the most appropriate to say to this father?
  A) Disciplining is not likely to be effective, but it may be necessary if the child keeps wetting the bed.
  B) Bedwetting is not uncommon in young children. Try to calmly change the bed without showing your frustration.
  C) Setting rules is a parent's job to help the child have acceptable social behavior, so take away a privilege each time she wets the bed.
  D) Nightly bedwetting up to age 6 or 7 is developmentally typical, so you will need to practice patience with your daughter.

Question 2

The nurse is working with a group of caregivers of 6 year olds. One of the mothers states her son has been lying and making up stories; she asks for some advice about how to address the issue.

  A) Your child could be in serious trouble in school if he continues to tell lies.
  B) The child should have privileges taken away for several days each time he tells a lie.
