Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Play therapy is often used with children who have experienced traumatic events or hospitalizations. The preschool child hospitalized with injuries sustained in a traumatic motor vehicle accident is the best choice for play therapy. Asthma and appendectomy are not typically traumatic events, and an infant with sepsis may not be developmentally ready for play therapy.
