Trust is important in establishing and maintaining a therapeutic relationship. Maintaining the balance between appropriate involvement and professional separation is quite challenging.
 
  Which behaviors may indicate professional separation or underinvolvement? Select all that apply. a. Avoiding the child or his or her family
  b. Revealing personal information
  c. Calling in sick
  d. Spending less time with a particular child
  e. Asking to trade assignments

Question 2

The parents of a newborn who is being treated for bacterial septicemia ask the nurse why their baby didn't seem very ill. The nurse's best response would be:
 
  1. A newborn's immune system isn't mature, so symptoms are vague.
  2. You would have seen more symptoms if you were looking closely.
  3. A fever will be present in sick newborns, including your baby.
  4. A mother's immunity usually protects the infant from illness.

Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
Feedback
Correct Whether nurses become too emotionally involved or find themselves at the
other end of the spectrumbeing underinvolvedthey lose effectiveness
as objective professional resources. These are all indications of the nurse
who is underinvolved in a child's care.
Incorrect Revealing personal information to a patient or his or her family is an
indication of overinvolvement.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Newborns have vague and nonspecific symptoms of illness because of their immature immune system and limited inflammatory response.
2. This is an inappropriate response that does not help to educate the parents about their newborn's reactions to illness.
3. Hypothermia is more common in sick infants than is hyperthermia.
4. Maternal immune globulin crosses the placenta and gives the newborn a limited acquired immunity to many illnesses, but will not prevent all illness from developing.
