Question

which action by the nurse is a priority when discussing sex education during middle childhood?
discuss normal growth and development
assess understanding of sexual development
identify readiness to learn about sex education
observe level of self - confidence in peer interactions

Explanation:

Before providing sex - education, it is crucial to first determine if the child is ready to learn. Understanding readiness helps in tailoring the education appropriately. Assessing understanding of sexual development comes after identifying readiness. Discussing normal growth and development is a part of sex - education but not the priority. Observing self - confidence in peer interactions is not directly related to sex - education priority.

Answer:

C. Identify readiness to learn about sex education
