A nurse is providing care to a 3-year-old child diagnosed with sickle cell disease who frequently requires hospitalizations due to recurrent sickle cell crises and infections. During the most recent admission, the nurse notes that the client often feels anxious despite being familiar with the hospital routines and treatments. Which of the following actions by the nurse can best alleviate the anxiety of the client? Request a prescription for lorazepam from the health care provider as needed. Consult a child life specialist to engage the client in play. Introduce the client to other clients on the unit so they can make friends. Move the client’s room next to the nurse’s station so they feel less isolated.
