Jayson, a 4 years old, is sitting in the pediatric clinic with Daniel, another patient. He suddenly realized that he has wet his pants and runs to the nurse, crying. The most appropriate initial response by the nurse is:
  1. “Why Jayson? What happened? Why did you wet your pants?”
  2. “You know better than this, Jayson. Next time you'll get a good spanking”
  3. “Let's take off those wet pants, Jayson, and put on something dry so you'll be more comfortable”.
  4. “Wait until I tell Daniel what you did. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?”
Explanation
Answer: C - The most appropriate response would be “Let's take off those wet pants, Jayson, and put on something dry so you'll be more comfortable.” The nurse must focus on treating the patient with respect first and then attempt to modify wrong behavior. This principle shows an acceptable standard of nursing action.
