The nurse is obtaining a history of a 9-year-old boy who is brought to the clinic for a well-child visit. The parent begins to provide all the information when the child is interviewed. How should the nurse include the child in the conversation?

Respect the child's silence and privacy by speaking to the parents.

Instruct the parents to leave the room so the child can speak freely.

Ask the child if he would like to add anything to his parents' comments.

Encourage the child to answer asks by addressing him directly.
