The nursing supervisor is observing the staff on the pediatric unit. Which nurse is providing family-centered care?
 
  1. The nurse who delays morning care until after the family has visited the child
  2. The nurse who suggests the mother take a break and get breakfast while the nurse changes the child's dressings
  3. While admitting a new client, the nurse explains the visitation rules of the unit to the parents and grandparents.
  4. During discharge planning, the nurse recognizes the mother is unable to perform wound care on the client, so the nurse works with the family to determine which family member will be available to meet this child's health care needs.

Question 2

During assessment of a child's biological family history, it is especially important that the nurse asking the mother for information use the term child's father instead of your husband in the situation of a:
 
  1. Traditional nuclear family.
 
  2. Traditional extended family.
 
  3. Two-income nuclear family.
 
  4. Heterosexual cohabitating informal stepfamily.

Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: This observation does not involve the nurse partnering with the family to meet the health care needs of the child.
Rationale 2: While encouraging the mother to maintain her own health, this observation does not promote nurse-family interaction to improve the health of the child.
Rationale 3: There is no evidence of family-centered care in this interaction.
Rationale 4: Assisting the family in planning for the health care needs of the child is an example of family-centered care. The nurse accepts the limitations of the mother while problem solving with the family to find a solution.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale:

1. In the traditional nuclear family, the traditional extended family, and the two-income nuclear family, the child's father is the same person as the mother's husband.
2. In the traditional nuclear family, the traditional extended family, and the two-income nuclear family, the child's father is the same person as the mother's husband.
3. In the traditional nuclear family, the traditional extended family, and the two-income nuclear family, the child's father is the same person as the mother's husband.
4. The mother from the heterosexual cohabitating informal stepfamily does not have a husband; the nurse should be asking about the child's father. In the traditional nuclear family, the traditional extended family, and the two-income nuclear family, the child's father is the same person as the mother's husband.
