A 6-year-old child is hospitalized for a surgical procedure. The parents ask if the child's four siblings can visit. Which response by the nurse is the most appropriate?

1. Let's plan their visit for a time when the child has received pain medication.
2. Only those siblings over 16 will be allowed to visit.
3. I don't think the other children should visit because it might scare them to see their sibling so sick.
4. Very young children shouldn't visit as they may carry germs.

Explanation:
1. Planning a time to visit when the child is most comfortable will be best for the client and the siblings.
2. Unless hospital policy prevents visitation by younger children, they should be allowed to visit.
3. Children should be prepared for a visit, but visits should be allowed. Children who cannot visit often imagine the situation is worse than it is.
4. All children may carry germs. Children should be assessed for signs of infection, but if they are free of symptoms, they should be allowed to visit.
