Question 2

The grandmother is the primary caregiver of her 2-year-old granddaughter. She expresses her concern that the child has temper tantrums two or three times a day, often in public places.

She explains that she spanked her own children when they did this, but now she is worried that spanking is not the best way to handle the situation. She asks the nurse for help with ways to deal with the temper tantrums. In answer to her question, the nurse makes the following statements. Which statement is the most appropriate regarding dealing with the child who has a temper tantrum?
A) Spanking is controversial but sometimes necessary, so use it if it works.
B) When the child has a tantrum in a public place, warn her that she will be punished when she is back at home, then follow through with the punishment.
C) Remain calm, pick the child up, and move her to a quiet and neutral place until she gains self-control; don't give in to her demands.
D) Remind her that she is in a public place and ask her to respect those around her; reward her if she responds by calming herself.
