Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Play therapy is often used for younger children to express their emotions and cope with their hospitalization. A preschool-age child with a fractured femur would be a good candidate for play therapy as they may have difficulty understanding and expressing their emotions related to the injury and hospital stay. The other clients may benefit from different types of interventions based on their respective diagnoses and developmental stages.
