Answer to Question 1

d. Foster feelings of competency by helping parents learn the special care needs of the infant.
It is important that the parents learn how to care for their infant so they feel competent. The nurse facilitates this by teaching special holding techniques, supporting breastfeeding, and encouraging frequent visiting and rooming in. The focus should be on the infant's capabilities and positive features. Infants do not usually require discipline. As the child gets older, this is necessary, but it is not a priority intervention at this time. The nursing staff negotiates with the family about the need for respite care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
As parents become increasingly responsible for their children, they are the experts. It is essential that the health care team recognize the family's expertise. In family-centered care, consistent attention is given to the effects of the child's chronic illness on all family members, not just the child. Nurses are adjuncts in the child's care. The nurse builds alliances with parents. Family members are involved in decision making about the child's physical care.
