The mother of a 4-year-old child tells a nurse that her child is reluctant to go to bed at night.
Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Allow your child an additional 30 minutes of play time before bed.
Let your child sleep in your bed with you.
Keep a night light on in your child's room.
Stay with your child until he is asleep if he begins to cry.
The Correct Answer is C
Choice A rationale
Allowing an additional 30 minutes of play before bedtime can lead to overstimulation and delay the child's ability to settle down for sleep. Consistent bedtime routines are crucial for
establishing healthy sleep patterns in children.
Choice B rationale
Letting the child sleep in the parent's bed can create dependency and difficulty in establishing the child's own sleep routine and space. This practice can disrupt both the parent's and
child's sleep in the long term.
Choice C rationale
Keeping a night light on provides a sense of security and comfort for a child who may be afraid of the dark. This helps the child feel safe and can ease the transition to bedtime.
Choice D rationale
Staying with the child until they fall asleep, especially if crying, can reinforce the behavior and make it harder for the child to develop self-soothing skills. It can lead to increased
dependency on the parent's presence to fall asleep.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Collecting objects like rocks reflects the interest in categorizing and organizing, which aligns with the industry vs. inferiority stage for school-age children.
Choice B rationale
Wanting to do well in school also fits with the industry vs. inferiority stage, where children gain pride from achieving tasks and being competent.
Choice C rationale
Doing simple math problems in one's head indicates cognitive development but doesn't directly align with the psychosocial development focus.
Choice D rationale
Following rules set by parents is important, but it's more about conforming to authority rather than indicating psychosocial development specific to industry vs. inferiority.

Explanation
Step 1: lb ÷ (2.2 lb/kg) = 10 kg
Step 2:.5 mg/kg/day × 10 kg = 15 mg/day
Step 3: mg/day ÷ 4 doses/day = 3.75 mg/dose
Step 4:.75 mg ÷ 1 mg/mL = 3.75 mL per dose
The calculated answer is 3.8 mL (rounded to the nearest tenth)
