Case Study

Cory is 4 ½ years old and has been attending preschool 4 days per week. Up until the birth of his baby sister, he had been happy to go to school. For the last 3 weeks, however, he has started to cry and cling to his mother each morning right at the time he is supposed to leave for school. Cory’s mother expresses concern that Cory is regressing.

1. How can you educate this mother with regard to this new behavior?
2. At what other times in preschoolers’ lives might they regress temporarily?
3. At which stage of cognitive development is Cory?
4. As a nurse, what evidence-based practice(s) could you apply to this case scenario?
