The nurse teaches parents that the formula used to guide time-out as a disciplinary method is a. 1 minute per each year of the child’s age. b. to relate the length of the time-out to the severity of the behavior. c. never to use time-out for a child younger than 4 years. d. to follow the time-out with a treat. ANS: A It is important to structure time-out in a time frame that allows the child to understand why he or she has been removed from the environment. The current guideline is 1 minute per agein years. Relating time to a behavior is subjective and is inappropriate when the child is veryyoung. Time-out can be used with the toddler. Negative behavior should not be reinforced with a positive action.

The nurse observes that when an 8-year-old enters the playroom, the child often causes disruptionby taking toys from other children. The nurse’s best approach for this behavior is to a. ban the child from the playroom until the child learns to control behavior. b. explain to the children in the playroom that this child is very ill and shouldbe allowed to have the toys. c. approach the child in his or her room and ask, “Would you like it if the . otherchildren took your toys from you?” d. approach the child in his room and state, “I am concerned that you are takingthe other children’s toys. It upsets them and me.” ANS: D By the nurse’s using “I” rather than the “you” message, the child can focus on the behavior. The child and the nurse can begin to explore why the behavior occurs. Banning the child from the playroom will not solve the problem. The problem is his behavior, not the place where he exhibits it. Illness is not a reason for a child to be undisciplined. When the child recovers, the parents will have to deal with a child who is undisciplined and unruly. Childrenshould not be made to feel guilty and to have their self-esteem attacked.
