A hospitalized pre-school boy recovering from surgery refuses to drink fluids. Which intervention is best for the practical nurse (PN) to implement?

Tell the child he can go outside after he drinks a full glass of water.

Make a game of seeing who can finish a glass of water first-the nurse or the child.

Offer the child a popsicle and allow him to pick the flavor he prefers.

Ask the parents to participate in encouraging the child's fluid intake.
