1. Read a story while in the room.

2. Spend extra time to talk while in the room.

4. Play a game while in the room.

Explanation:

Reverse isolation is a part of healthcare given to the patient who is being affected by the weak immune system functioning. In this practice, the healthcare providers will wear gloves, gown and face masks to keep the germs away from the patient under care. Also, the visitors will wash their hands while entering the room and leaving the room of the patient. The germs may be carried on the droplets in the air, through another person's body or through medical equipment.

According to the given situation, the child may feel loneliness as sometimes in reverse isolation visitors like family members and friends are restricted to meet the patient. The nurse in this situation must spend extra time with the child talking. The nurse must play game with the child and also she can read the story while in a room with the child.

The other given options will lead to the development of a feeling of social isolation, loneliness, and depression.
