Assisting the child back to his room for the treatment but reassuring him that he may return when the procedure is completed would be the most appropriate nursing action. This ensures that the treatment is completed in a timely manner and provides a sense of security to the child, who can return to the playroom after the treatment is finished. Bringing toys to the bedside or rescheduling the treatment may not be necessary or practical in this situation, and showing the respiratory therapist to the playroom could be disruptive to other children in the area.
