Solution

The nurse should initially C. determine if the client is experiencing pain or discomfort. This is the first step because the child's refusal to participate in physical therapy and ambulate might be due to pain or discomfort. Understanding the child's feelings is crucial before proceeding with other strategies. If the child is in pain, the nurse can administer pain relief before encouraging the child to participate in physical therapy. If discomfort is the issue, the nurse can work with the child to make the process more comfortable.
