Answer:1
Rationale: Therapeutic play is a means of anxiety reduction in the hospitalized child. Allowing the child to play with safe medical equipment is an ageappropriate method through which the child can express his feelings,thereby reducing anxiety. Anatomically correct dolls are not age appropriate.Reading a story to the child does not allow for expression of feelings. Talking to the child may be beneficial,but it does not allow for active release of frustration and anxiety as active play does.
