[HudsonKB16]

After giving birth to a healthy infant boy, a primiparous woman, 16, is admitted to the postpartum unit. An appropriate nursing diagnosis for her at this time is risk for impaired parenting related to deficient knowledge of newborn care.
 
  In planning for the woman's discharge, what should the nurse be certain to include in the plan of care? a. Tell the woman how to feed and bathe her infant.
  b. Give the woman written information on bathing her infant.
  c. Advise the woman that all mothers instinctively know how to care for their in-fants.
  d. Provide time for the woman to bathe her infant after she views an infant bath demonstration.

Question 2

You are teaching the parent of a diabetic preschool-age child about management of the disease. The parent should be told to allow the preschool child to:
 
  1. Administer all the insulin injections.
  2. Pick which finger to stick for glucose testing.
  3. Draw up the insulin dose.
  4. Test blood glucose.

Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Although verbalizing how to care for the infant is a form of patient education, it is not the most developmentally appropriate teaching for a teenage mother.
B Although providing written information is useful, it is not the most develop-mentally appropriate teaching for a teenage mother.
C This statement is inappropriate; it is belittling and false.
D Having the mother demonstrate infant care is a valuable method of assessing the patient's understanding of her newly acquired knowledge, especially in this age group, because she may inadvertently neglect her child.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Allowing the child to administer the insulin should not be done until the child is middle or later schoolage.
2. The preschool-age child's need for autonomy and control can be met by allowing the child to pick which finger to stick for glucose testing.
3. Allowing the child to draw up the dose should not be done until the child is middle or later schoolage.
4. Allowing the child to test the blood glucose should not be done until the child is middle or later schoolage.
