The Parent of a 6-Year-Old Child Who Will Be Wearing

The parent of a 6-year-old child who will be wearing an eye patch and a bandage around the entire head asks the nurse for suggestions on how to get the child to comply and not remove these items. Which of the following are the best suggestions and are most likely to be successful interventions?

A) Encourage the child to pretend to be a pirate, and use rewards to reinforce compliance.
B) Apply tincture of benzoin or glue to the edges of the patch to adhere it to the child's face.
C) Tie cardboard tubes on the elbows, and put mittens on the child's hands.
D) Apply tape across the patch from the forehead to the cheek or jaw, making a big X to secure the patch.
