Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Choice A rationale
It is common for children who are hospitalized to regress temporarily in their behavior, including toilet training. Stress, unfamiliar environments, and illness can contribute to this regression. Assuring the parents that the child’s skills will return when they feel better helps alleviate their concerns.
Choice B rationale
Asking why it bothers the parent that their child has wet the bed may come across as insensitive or confrontational. It does not provide support or reassurance to the parent.
Choice C rationale
Telling the parent not to worry about the child wetting the bed because the child did not seem upset dismisses the parent’s feelings and does not address the underlying issue of the child’s regression.
Choice D rationale
Sharing personal experiences and saying it doesn’t bother the nurse may seem empathetic but does not provide the professional reassurance and support the parents need. It shifts the focus to the nurse rather than addressing the parents' concerns.
