Feedback
A Incorrect: Working with school-aged children, the nurse recognizes they may have preconceived ideas about pain and fears about surgery; but, the abstract thought that the medication will not be strong enough is not an issue for this age group.
B Incorrect: Working with school-aged children, the nurse recognizes they may have preconceived ideas about pain and fears about surgery; but, the fear that the nurse will spend too much time with them is not an issue for this age group.
C Correct: School-aged children have many body image concerns and some fear their insides will leak out after injections or surgery. Covering all wounds can decrease their anxiety and help decrease their pain perception.
D Incorrect: Working with school-aged children, the nurse recognizes they may have preconceived ideas about pain and fears about surgery; but, the fear that their classmates will get to have more fun and play more is not an issue for this age group.
