The parent of a 4-year-old son tells the nurse that the child believes monsters and the boogeyman are in his bedroom at night. The nurse's best suggestion for coping with this problem is to:
 
  a. Insist that the child sleep with his parents until the fearful phase passes.
  b. Suggest involving the child to find a practical solution such as a night-light.
  c. Help the child understand that these fears are illogical.
  d. Tell the child frequently that monsters and the boogeyman do not exist.

Question 2

The nurse is guiding parents in selecting a day care facility for their child. When making the selection, it is especially important to consider:
 
  a. Structured learning environment.
  b. Socioeconomic status of children.
  c. Cultural similarities of children.
  d. Teachers knowledgeable about development.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A night-light shows a child that imaginary creatures do not lurk in the darkness. Letting the child sleep with parents or telling the child that these creatures do not exist will not get rid of the fears. A 4-year-old is in the preconceptual age and cannot understand logical thought.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A teacher knowledgeable about development will structure activities for learning. A structured learning environment is not necessary at this age. Socioeconomic status is not the most important factor in selecting a preschool. Preschool is about expanding experiences with others; cultural similarities are not necessary.
