Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. Encouraging a mother to discuss her feelings about leaving her son is alway appropriate for a nurse.
B Incorrect. Expressing anger to a mother because she does not stay with her child is never appropriate for a nurse.
C Incorrect. Assessing the family's socioeconomic needs is often appropriate for a nurse.
D Correct. When a nurse offers to set up a meeting with social services and child protective services, he or she has made a value judgment about the mother's behavior and this is not appropriate.

All of these symptoms are normal for a patient undergoing chemotherapy.
