  1. Provide the client with structured craft projects and coordinate with teachers to continue schoolwork.Cevap
  2. B
    Reassure the client frequently that the illness and hospitalization are not a punishment for bad behavior.
  3. C
    Arrange for extended, unstructured daily video calls with peer groups to maintain social identity.
  4. D
    Encourage parents to perform all bathing and dressing activities to conserve the client's physical energy.

Cevap

Provide the client with structured craft projects and coordinate with teachers to continue schoolwork.
According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, a 7-year-old is in the 'Industry versus Inferiority' stage. Children in this stage thrive on learning, completing tasks, and gaining a sense of competence. Providing schoolwork and structured projects allows the hospitalized child to remain productive and achieve goals, thereby promoting industry and preventing feelings of inferiority.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the client's age and corresponding developmental stage according to Erikson's theory.
The client is 7 years old, placing them in the school-age stage (6 to 12 years), which is characterized by the psychosocial crisis of Industry versus Inferiority.
Nursing interventions must be tailored to the client's specific cognitive and psychosocial developmental level to be effective and safe.
2
Determine the primary psychosocial needs of a child in the Industry versus Inferiority stage.
Children at this stage need to engage in tasks they can complete, learn new skills, and feel a sense of accomplishment and competence.
Prolonged hospitalization can disrupt normal development; providing opportunities for achievement prevents feelings of inadequacy or inferiority.
3
Evaluate the given options to find the one that best supports the development of industry.
Providing craft projects and schoolwork allows the child to continue learning, complete tasks, and feel productive, which perfectly aligns with fostering industry.
The other options incorrectly target the developmental needs of preschoolers, adolescents, or promote regressive dependence.
