Cevap

Providing a daily routine schedule and a checklist for the client to mark off when each respiratory treatment is completed.
The correct answer supports Erikson's psychosocial stage of Industry vs. Inferiority. School-age children (typically ages 6 to 12) thrive on accomplishment, structure, and participating in tasks. Allowing the client to use a checklist for treatments fosters a sense of competence, mastery, and control over their environment. This directly promotes healthy psychosocial development by preventing feelings of inadequacy that can arise during hospitalization.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the client's developmental stage based on age.
The client is 9 years old, placing them in the school-age stage.
Developmental interventions must be tailored to the specific cognitive and psychosocial stage of the child.
2
Determine the relevant developmental theories for a school-age child.
According to Erikson, the child is in the Industry vs. Inferiority stage. According to Piaget, they are in the Concrete Operational stage.
These frameworks define what the child needs to achieve healthy psychosocial adaptation and how they process information.
3
Evaluate the nursing interventions against these theoretical frameworks.
A checklist provides a concrete task that the child can complete to gain a sense of mastery and industry, perfectly aligning with their developmental needs.
Nursing care for a school-age child must balance necessary medical supervision with opportunities for the child to achieve, participate, and feel productive.
