The nurse is working with a school-age child who is hospitalized. In planning care that will promote a sense of industry in this child, the nurse will
1. Allow the child to assist with her care.
2. Encourage parents to participate in the child’s care.
3. Give the child a detailed scientific explanation of the illness.
4. Speak to the child in a high-pitched voice.

1... Allowing the child to participate in her care will decrease the sense of loss of control and increase a sense of industry. While parents can certainly participate in their child’s care, it does not increase the child’s sense of control. School-age children in general will not understand detailed scientific explanations. Change in voice tone is appropriate when talking to very young children.
