1. Attempting to cover the head with a wig needs to be discussed with the child before attempting to purchase it.
2. The child should be playing with children that he/she feels most comfortable with. This does not address the concerns of the patient at this time.
3. This does not address the child's concerns and needs to focus on the body image issue at this time.
4. The child needs an opportunity to discuss feelings about the changes in body image.
