A new mother has just received news that her newborn has been diagnosed with Prayer-Willis syndrome. The nurse knows that the mother needs more education when she states:
 
  1. My child will need regular checkups for scoliosis and osteoporosis..
   2. My baby may not show pain like my other children..
   3. I can breastfeed my baby for as long as I want..
   4. I need to get early child interventions for her to function on her best level..

Question 2

Stress on a family from the time, effort, and expense of caring for a chronically ill child is known as:
 
  1. Boredom.
   2. Caregiver fatigue.
   3. Post-traumatic stress disorder.
   4. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Feedback
1. Regular checkups are needed in order to monitor development.
2. The child may not show pain.
3. The child can breastfeed and is encouraged to, but not for as long as the mother would like.
4. Early interventions will allow for a proactive approach for the child.

Answer to Question 2

Feedback
1. Caregiver fatigue is the correct answer. Boredom is not a proper diagnostic description.
2. Caregiver fatigue should be assessed for any caregiver with a chronically ill child. Resources should be made available to them.
3. Post-traumatic stress disorder is diagnosed after a severe psychological stressor has occurred. The care of a chronically ill child is unlikely to result in this diagnosis.
4. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is not associated with caring for a chronically ill child. This is a physiologic condition.
