The school nurse is observing a young child who has episodes of rage toward peers during recess and at lunchtime. The advantage of conducting an assessment in this environment is:

1. This will assist in identifying the bullies who trigger the explosive episodes.
2. This provides an opportunity to collect data in the event that other children are injured and legal documentation is needed.
3. To provide data for the parents who are in denial about the problem.

Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Play has been described as the work of children. Observing the child interacting with peers during recess and lunchtime enables the nurse to observe the child during unstructured play, which is part of the mental status assessment. The nurse is not observing the child due to a potential lawsuit, to help identify bullies, or to provide data for the parents who are in denial, but as part of a nursing assessment.

Answer to Question 2

2,4,5
Rationale: Sympathetic. The nurse is expected to be caring and empathetic, but should not let personal feelings interfere with objectivity and the ability to help the client cope effectively.
