In order to prepare a 6-year-old client for an intravenous catheter insertion, the nurse's best response would be:
 
  1. If I were you, I would hold very still so that it will only take one stick.
 
  2. It is okay to cry. I know that this hurts.
 
  3. Don't worry a bit, this is just like a little mosquito bite.
 
  4. Why are you crying? I thought that you were a tough kid.

Question 2

Students are observing a staff nurse who is empathic with the child undergoing chemotherapy. The students observe the nurse interplaying the internalized feelings of the child and the child's experiences or fantasies.
 
  The students recognize that the nurse, while fully absorbed in the identity of the child, still identifies himself as a separate personality. The student who correctly understands empathy recognizes the phase of empathy as: 1. Detachment.
 
  2. Identification.
 
  3. Reverberation.
 
  4. Incorporation.
