Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Family-centered care is based on the following principles. Childbirth affects the entire family and relationships will change. Childbirth is viewed as a normal, healthy event in the life of the family. Families are capable of making decisions about their own care if given adequate information and professional support.

Answer to Question 2

Parents need reassurance that febrile seizures, although frightening, are benign in nature. Children who experience one or more febrile seizures are at no greater risk of developing epilepsy than the general population. No evidence exists that febrile seizures cause structural damage or cognitive declines.
