A Incorrect: The nurse working with the family of a child with a chronic health condition is aware that the siblings are affected by having a brother or sister with a chronic health condition. The healthy sibling usually receives less attention because of increased demands on the caregivers. They often assume greater responsibilities such as for housework and caring for younger family members. Their participation in sports, school, or church activities may be limited because of the caregivers' responsibilities.
B Correct: The nurse working with the family of a child with a chronic health condition is aware that the siblings may experience and share some of the stigma faced by the ill child. Because of the close identification between siblings, characteristics of the chronically ill child may be associated with the siblings.
C Incorrect: The nurse working with the family of a child with a chronic health condition is aware that the healthy siblings do not often overcompensate for activities the sibling cannot do.
D Incorrect: The nurse working with the family of a child with a chronic health condition is aware that the siblings do not overlook much of what goes on with the ill child. In fact, siblings worry about the possible death of the brother or sister.
