During a routine visit, a parent of a school-age child states to the nurse, I don't think my child wants me to help with anything anymore. The best response from the nurse should be:
 
  1. Continue to do what you have been doing for your child.
 
  2. Your child's ability to solve problems and assume more responsibility for herself is important.
 
  3. Just let your child know you are the parent, and that what you are doing is the right thing.
 
  4. Let your child know that she should inform you when she needs to have something done.

Question 2

While teaching the parents of a school-age child about coping with divorce, the nurse instructs the parents to:
 
  1. Share marital concerns with the child.
 
  2. Spend less time with the child so he doesn't feel the tension between the parents.
 
  3. Be sure the child understands the divorce is not the child's fault.
 
  4. Allow the child to stay with only one parent until the divorce becomes final.

Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale:
1. If the parent continues to do tasks for the child, the parentchild relationship will suffer.
2. School-age children continue to develop abilities to self-regulate activities and response to situations. At this age, the abilities to solve problems and assume more responsibility for self are important. Encourage the parents to praise the child for assuming responsibilities.
3. It is not appropriate for the parent to insist on doing things for the child, as it will decrease the amount of responsibility the child takes on.
4. The child should not have to inform the parent when she needs to have something done if the child is fully capable to safely do it for herself.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale:
1. It is not appropriate for the parents to discuss marital concerns with the child.
2. The parents should spend more time with the child, not less, when experiencing a divorce.
3. Divorce is a common, stressful event for school-age children. While parents are engaged in their own stresses, they might benefit from help to plan for ways to lessen the strain on the children. They can make sure the child understands that the divorce is not the child's fault and is only related to the parents' relationship with each other.
4. Staying with only one parent will alienate the child from the opposite parent, and is not an appropriate instruction.
