Questions: 9. The nurse is talking to a client who is 18 weeks pregnant about preparing her 7 -year-old daughter for the new sibling. Which of the following recommendations is best for the nurse to make based on the child's age? a. "Wait to discuss the birth of the baby untll your daughter asks about it." (D) Teach your daughter how to hold and talk to a baby using her favorite doll." c. "Use your pregnancy as a way to begin to discuss basic human sexuality." (d.) "Tell your daughter the story of her own birth."

The answer is (b) "Teach your daughter how to hold and talk to a baby using her favorite doll."

This option is not ideal because it is important to proactively prepare a child for a significant change like the arrival of a new sibling. Waiting for the child to ask may lead to anxiety or misconceptions.

This is the best option because it actively involves the child in the process and helps her understand what having a new sibling will be like. Using a doll can make the concept more tangible and less abstract, which is suitable for a 7-year-old's developmental stage.

While discussing human sexuality is important, it may not be directly relevant to preparing a child for a new sibling. The focus should be on the sibling relationship and the changes that will occur in the family dynamic.

While this can be a nice way to connect with the child, it may not directly help her understand or prepare for the arrival of a new sibling. It might be more beneficial as a supplementary activity rather than the primary method of preparation.
