The nurse is caring for preschooler who is admitted due to a fractured left leg. The child points to a pregnant client and asks the nurse, “Where do babies come from?” Which of the following responses by the nurse is the most appropriate?
  1. “It is not right to ask that question. Let’s read a good book.”
  2. “Babies live in clouds and once mommies give birth, the storks deliver the babies to the hospitals.”
  3. “Babies grow inside their mommies’ bodies in a place called the uterus.”
  4. “Babies come from their mommies’ tummies.”
Explanation
Answer: C - Preschoolers ask a lot of questions and asking where babies come from is a common question. Because the child is looking for a factual answer, the nurse should answer the child’s question with facts. Using tummies might confuse the child, as this body part is commonly associated with food. The other options are not correct.
