,A nurse is interviewing a mother of two children, ages 5 and 14. They
were in a hotel fire a year ago in which their father was killed. The
mother is concerned because the younger child has nightmares. The
older child does not seem to have any problems. What action by the
nurse is the most appropriate?
-Ask the mother about physical injuries to the children.
-Determine if the mother sought counseling after the fire.
-Focus the appointment on the younger child only.
-Inquire if the older child avoids hotels, even on television.

nurse should also inquire about the health of the older child to provide
holistic care to this family.

situational low self-esteem. Which statement by the child indicates
that a short-term goal has been met?
-“I have to sleep a lot when I feel sad, sometimes until noon!”
-“I wish I didn’t make so many mistakes in my homework.”
-“My mom makes me special cookies when I am feeling sad.”
-“When I was feeling bad, I remembered my great science project.”
ANSWER

-“I will convey your concerns to your health-care provider.”
-“If you don’t want your child to take the medication, don’t fill it.”
-“SSRIs have been used for many years to treat depression.”
-“This information is controversial, so watch your child carefully.”

disorder?

-Placed in daycare at 3months
