Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: The use of complementary therapies does not indicate impaired gas exchange.
Rationale 2: Risk for injury is the priority nursing diagnosis when complementary therapies are used. The nurse must be concerned for the child's safety with respect to side effects, risks, and other implications of complementary therapy used with traditional Western medical treatments.
Rationale 3: There is no indication this family has altered family processes. The use of complementary therapies does not mean their processes are unusual.
Rationale 4: There is no indication the parents are using inappropriate parenting styles.
Global Rationale:

Rationale 4: This is not therapeutic communication, as the nurse cannot guarantee that everything will be okay.
Global Rationale:
