B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Assessing previous or past family decision making may determine the effectiveness of the family in making choices, but it cannot inform them about choices they may face now or in the future.
B Correct. For a family or caregivers to be informed about decisions they face currently about their child's care, they must be informed and educated about the choices and the projected outcomes.
C Incorrect. Being in charge of decisions without knowing the options and choices does not inform the caregivers, only gives them the accountability.
D Incorrect. Empowering caregivers to make decisions includes all choices, both difficult and easy.
