Question 2

Damon is a 3-month-old patient on the pediatric floor for a post-operative stay. Cyndie, his primary nurse, is about to assess Damon for the first time this shift. A therapeutic approach to the assessment would be:
 
  1. Cooing, speaking in soft tones, and smiling at Damon as she performs the assessment.
   2. Talking loudly and not making eye contact with Damon during the assessment.
   3. Speaking to the parent during the entire assessment so as much information can be gathered from the parent as possible.
   4. To not talk and try to keep Damon as quiet as possible to during the assessment.

3, 2, 4, 1

Answer to Question 2

1
Feedback
1. This action is appropriate because a 3-month-old responds to quiet interactions and likes to watch faces.
2. Talking loudly can upset small infants and cause restlessness.
3. It is important to gather information from the parent, but this should be done before or after the physical assessment is completed.
4. It is important to keep the baby quiet during the assessment, but the lack of human interaction is not therapeutic for an infant.
