The nursing is talking with the caregiver of a 13 year old diagnosed with scoliosis. The child has come to the clinic to be fitted with a brace to begin her treatment.
 
  The child appears upset and angry and states, I hate this brace; I hate it already. In an effort to support this child, which of the following statements would be the most appropriate for the nurse to make to this child's caregiver?
  A) Remind your child that her spine needs to be corrected to keep her whole musculoskeletal system healthy for a long, long time.
  B) Take your daughter to an oncology floor for a few minutes so she can see children who are much sicker than she is.
  C) If you can afford it, let your daughter choose an article or two of clothing that she can wear with the brace that will help her feel that she looks good.
  D) Children her age often withdraw during stressful times; let her have some time alone to think about the situation and to get used to the brace.
