1 Keeping communication between the family and health care team open and asking about any influences that can occur is a key role played by nurses in preventing the development of a nontherapeutic relationship between the nurse and patient. Assuming that the patient will freely communicate personal religious needs, providing a traditional Western diet, and allowing the patient to choose what to eat could negatively affect the therapeutic relationship between the nurse and patient. The nurse should not assume that a patient who identifies as a follower of a particular religion adheres to all of the common religious practices of that religion.

Parents of a 10-year-old child ask the nurse if they should tell their child about their decision to get divorced. Which response by the nurse would be appropriate? Select all that apply. 1 "Discuss your decision with your child." 2 "Refrain from crying in front of your child." 3 "Give reassurance that you love your child." 4 "Allow your child to freely express feelings." 5 "Refrain from telling your child because it will depress the child."

1,3,4 Parents should discuss the decision to separate with their children. Sufficient time should be set aside for these discussions and these discussions should take place during a calm period and not after an argument. Parents should allow their children to express their feelings and emotions and help them cope with the situation. Parents should reassure their children that they love them, because the child's need for love and reassurance is tremendous at this time. Parents physically holding or touching their children will provide warmth and reassurance. Parents should not fear crying in front of children during the initial disclosure of a divorce, because it gives children permission to cry and express their feelings. Parents should tell their children about their divorce. Children would already be experiencing vague and difficult feelings, so telling the truth helps them understand the situation and deal with it.

Which description of foster care is accurate? 1 Living permanently with an adoptive family 2 An institutional setting where many children live together 3 An approved living situation away from the family of origin 4 Living with grandparents but away from the biologic parents

3 By definition, foster care is an approved living situation in which the child is placed away from the family. These people are generally unrelated to the child, and this arrangement is for a fixed period of time. An orphanage is an institution for children without parents. Many children live with their relatives or grandparents if parents are unable to care for the children or if the parents have died. This is not considered foster care. Adoption is when a child is permanently placed in a new home and the new parents adopt the child.

Which disposition of the child reflects this decision? 1 Staying with the father for most of the time 2 Staying with the mother for most of the time 3 Staying with both parents for a shared amount of time 4 Staying with the mother, but the father is also a legal guardian

Complete custody is awarded to the parent who is more reliable and able to care for the child.

This parent may be the mother or the father. The preference of the child may be discussed but does not necessarily play a part in the decision.

At which age will a child best adapt to adoption? 1 1 year 2 7 years 3 15 years 4 5 months

4 A 5-month-old baby is much easier to adopt because the baby is not yet attached to anybody and tends to adapt well to a new environment. The earlier the child is adopted, the better the child adapts to the new home. Children who are 1 year, 7 years, or 15 years old may not adapt well because they have not had consistency in their lives and may have developed other attachments.
