Practice Question
A 10-year-old is to undergo ureteral re-implants for vesicoureteral reflux. The nurse and child life therapist provide pre-operative education for the client and parents. On which of these principles should they base the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Teaching is based on the senses-what the client will see, hear, and feel during and after the procedure.
Rationale:
🧸 School-age children (6–12 years) think concretely, so teaching should focus on sensory experiences — what they’ll see, hear, and feel before and after surgery.
🧸 Providing realistic details like IV lines, monitors, and noises helps the child reduce anxiety through familiarity.
🧸 Using medical play, pictures, or models engages their curiosity and encourages participation and understanding.
🧸 This approach helps the child feel prepared and in control, promoting cooperation on the day of surgery.
