Which option is NOT a psychosocial support activity?

• A. Limiting family involvement
• B. Spending supportive time with child
• C. Communicating with child and family
• D. Providing information and reassurance

Answer: (A)

Psychosocial support centers on helping the child feel emotionally safe and connected, with the family deeply involved in the care process. Spending supportive time with the child provides comfort, warmth, and reassurance, directly supporting their emotional well-being. Communicating with both the child and the family keeps everyone informed, reduces fear, and fosters trust. Providing information and reassurance helps the child and family understand what’s happening, which eases anxiety and supports coping. Limiting family involvement, however, removes a critical source of comfort and information and runs counter to how psychosocial support is designed to function. That makes it not a psychosocial support activity.
