Question
Which of the following would suggest that the parents of a 6-year-old boy with leukemia have age-appropriate expectations regarding their child's response to his approaching death after the nurse has taught them how to talk with their child about death and dying?*1 pointA.He is too young to comprehend what is happening to himB.He might believe that his behavior causes his own deathC.He will accept that his illness will cause deathD.He will understand how much his siblings will miss him.
Solution
The most age-appropriate expectation for a 6-year-old boy with leukemia would be option B: "He might believe that his behavior causes his own death." At this age, children often engage in magical thinking and may believe that their thoughts or actions can cause certain events. It's important for parents to reassure their child that his illness is not his fault. Options A, C, and D are not as likely because they involve a level of understanding and emotional maturity that is typically beyond the capacity of a 6-year-old.
