The mother of a toilet-trained toddler who was admitted to the hospital for severe gastroenteritis and subsequent dehydration and is now at home asks the nurse why the child still wets the bed. Which of the following should be the nurse's best response?
1. “Hospitalization is a traumatic experience for children. Regression is common and it takes time for them to return to their former behavior.”
2. “The stress of hospitalization is hard for many children, but usually they have no problems when they return home.”
3. “After returning home from being hospitalized, children still feel they should be the center of attention.”
4. “Children do not feel comfortable in their home surroundings once they return home from being hospitalized.”
