Question

1.You are a nurse in a pediatric primary care clinic conducting a well-child assessment for an active toddler and his young mother. As you discuss the home environment, the mother tells you that they live in a two-story house with bedrooms on the second floor and the other rooms on the main floor. The mother tells you that the toddler climbs up and down the stairs and on chairs, gets up on counters and tabletops, and is very curious about boxes and bottles of all types. The mother appears tired and irritated as she tries to hold the toddler still on her lap. He is crying and struggling to get off of her lap.

1. List and analyze your immediate impressions of this family.

2. Describe how you think the mother feels at this time.

3. Propose how you will proceed with your assessment of the mother, toddler, and home environment.

5. Plan methods for improving the toddler’s safety.

6. Reflect on how you can follow up with the mother and her coping strategies

Answer 1

I think number 5. Because for a toddler climbing up and down of a chair is very dangerous so I think for the nurse she should plan safe methods to improve the toddler's safety at home and there could be something dangerous and harmful in those boxes
