The family rushes a four-month-old infant to the hospital after finding the infant not breathing. The child is diagnosed as a victim of sudden infant death syndrome. Supportive care for this family would include:
 
  1. Sheltering parents from the grief by not giving them any personal items of the infant, such as footprints.
  2. Allowing parents to hold, touch, and rock the dead infant.
  3. Advising parents that an autopsy is not necessary.
  4. Interviewing parents to determine the cause of the SIDS incident.

Question 2

The nurse is teaching parents and an adolescent who has a chronic condition to transition the adolescent to health care for a young adult. What challenges might the parents and adolescent face?
 
  1. The adolescent and parents might be anxious for this transition.
   2. The adolescent and parents are not ready to end the current relationship.
   3. Adult health care providers are willing to accept adolescents with chronic conditions.
   4. Once the adolescent reaches 21 years of age, he automatically will be insured.
