Practice Question

A nurse in an emergency department is assisting in the care of a 13-year- old adolescent.

Answer Choices:

Rationale:

💠 A child life specialist is trained to help children and families cope with serious illness and can guide age-appropriate communication about diagnoses.

💠 Adolescents benefit from honest but developmentally appropriate information about their condition to build trust and coping strategies.

💠 Reinforcing teaching to the parent helps them understand that adolescents may experience a range of emotional responses such as anger, fear, sadness, or even denial.

💠 Supporting emotional openness, rather than avoidance, encourages healthier psychological adjustment for the adolescent.

💠 Initiating supportive services early promotes family-centered, compassionate care during a crisis.
