Question 2 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

Marty, a nurse, is trying to write down a five-year-old girl’s symptoms. The girl is scared and does not want to answer Marty’s questions. To calm her, Marty asks the girl her stuffed bear’s name and if she has any pets. Soon the girl is giggling and gives Marty the answers. What type of consideration is this?

Answer
A
behavioral
B
emotional
C
physical

Explanation

Marty notices that the child is scared and uses friendly conversation about her bear and pets to help her feel comfortable enough to answer. This addresses the girl’s feelings and builds trust, so it is an emotional consideration—not a physical or behavioral one.
