Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Providing pre-visit information targeted at children can help prepare the child for what they might see, hear, and experience in the critical care unit, making the visit less frightening and more understandable. Sedating the grandmother could be medically inappropriate and doesn't address the child's needs. Insisting the child visits alone or with a friend doesn't provide the necessary emotional support or preparation for such a visit.
