The nurse at an outpatient clinic is sitting with the parents while their adolescent goes for a test. The parents are complaining about their child's behavior. The nursing statement to a parent that fosters family-centered communication is:
 
  1. I agree with you, discipline is an important part of parenting.
 
  2. I know just how you feel. I had the same experience with my children.
 
  3. You are so right. Adolescents function in the me-first mode all the time.
 
  4. Tell me how you feel when your adolescent is aggressive with you.

Question 2

Supportive care for the family of an infant who died from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) includes:
 
  1. Interviewing parents to determine the cause of the SIDS incident.
   2. Allowing parents to hold, touch, and rock the infant.
   3. Sheltering parents from the grief by not giving them any personal items of the infant, such as footprints.
   4. Advising parents that an autopsy is not necessary.
