Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

School-age children enjoy short projects that offer an immediate reward and learn best if a procedure is broken down into different stages and presented as separate short steps.
They enjoy games, so playing an allergy trivia game would be the best way for the nurse to teach the patient about asthma triggers. Videos are not an appropriate method to teach the school-age child. The nurse can teach this information; the physician does not need to be consulted. The nurse needs to do more than giving the patient a list of food items to avoid.
