A pre-schooler is being prepared for an ear surgery in an ambulatory care facility. When the child is called to go to the operating room, the nurse should:
  1. Allow the child to walk from the unit.
  2. Remove the child’s toy.
  3. Allow the parents to accompany the child until he is sedated.
  4. Ask the parents to leave the room and wait outside.
Explanation
Answer: C - Most health institutions allow the parents accompany the child until he is sedated and to stay with the child as long as possible. This minimizes the stress related to fearful events. Also, current theory is consistent that parents should remain during the induction of anesthesia due to parent’s positive feedback.
