After a prolonged period in a regional hospital far from home to which the parents were unable to travel, an 18-month-old toddler becomes depressed, withdrawn, and apathetic. eventually the toddler begins playing with toys and relating to others, even strangers. when the parents visit, the child ignores them. the parents tell the nurse that their child has forgotten them. how does the nurse explain the child's behavior

The options are:

1 The nurse suggests that they may be right and that their child will have to get to know them again.

2 The behavior indicates approval of the staff and the child's understanding that they will not inflict bodily harm.

3 The behavior reflects acceptance of the hospitalization and that the experience will enhance their child's maturation.

4 This signifies typical behavior in toddlers who are separated from their parents for prolonged periods and that their child will need special attention from them.

Option 4

Explanation:

The child has reached the third stage of pain in which the toddler has reached the phase of separation and denial.

In this phase there is a resignation to the loss of parents and has a superficial adjustment to the environment  in which the child is living.

The child might just not understand the situation and living in the hospital by the help of the hospitalization provided by the healthcare workers.

A child of 18 months cannot forget his parents he is just not accepting and understanding the situation.
