An 8-year-old girl is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The nurse may expect fear and crying when teaching the child how to self-administer insulin injections due to which influencing factor?
A. Self-concept
B. Self-esteem
C. Developmental level
D. Hierarchy of needs
C. Developmental level
EXPLANATION - Even when the child understands about having the disease, she is less likely to understand the need for insulin therapy due to her emotional and comprehension level of development. A child’s self-concept is not well established at this point, and self-esteem is not a major factor. Hierarchy of needs is not yet fully developed because the child depends on her parents for the basic level of needs.
Extra info-The concept of illness is different at each level of development. Fear and anxiety are common and appropriate traits for children and adults. The impact of disease may be beyond the ability of a child or developmentally delayed adult to comprehend
