Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. A central concept of family-centered care is to allow the family to be more in control of who can come and go, who can stay, making the child less dependent on the family, as friends and neighbors can be more involved.
B Incorrect. Loss of rest by the child is not a reason to restrict who can come and go and who can stay.
C Correct. Other strategies that enhance family-centered care include no limits on the ages or number of visitors (unless directed otherwise by the family), and adequate sleeping facilities for the caregivers in the child's room.
D Incorrect. In fact, nurses may find procedures are more difficult to carry out with family and friends in the room.
