b. Family-centered care encourages family dependence on the health care system.

c. Family-centered care recognizes that the family is the constant in a child’s life.

d. Family-centered care avoids expecting families to be part of the decision-making process.

ANS: C

The three key components of family-centered care are respect, collaboration, and support.

Family- centered care recognizes the family as the constant in the child’s life. The family should

be enabled and empowered to work with the health care system and is expected to be part of the

decision-making process. The nurse should also support the family’s cultural diversity, not

reduce its effect.

4. The nurse is talking to a group of parents of school-age children at an after-school

program about childhood health problems. Which statement should the nurse include in the

teaching?

a. Childhood obesity is the most common nutritional problem among children.

b. Immunization rates are the same among children of different races and ethnicity.

c. Dental caries is not a problem commonly seen in children since the introduction of

fluorinated water.

d. Mental health problems are typically not seen in school-age children but may be

diagnosed in adolescents.

ANS: A

When teaching parents of school-age children about childhood health problems, the nurse should

include information about childhood obesity because it is the most common problem among

children and is associated with type 2 diabetes. Teaching parents about ways to prevent obesity is

important to include. Immunization rates differ depending on the child’s race and ethnicity;

dental caries continues to be a common chronic disease in childhood; and mental health

problems are seen in children as young as school age, not just in adolescents.

5. The nurse is planning care for a hospitalized preschool-aged child. Which should the

nurse plan to ensure atraumatic care?

a. Limit explanation of procedures because the child is preschool aged.

b. Ask that all family members leave the room when performing procedures.

c. Allow the child to choose the type of juice to drink with the administration of oral

medications.

d. Explain that EMLA cream cannot be used for the morning lab draw because there is not

time for it to be effective.

ANS: C

The overriding goal in providing atraumatic care is first, do no harm. Allowing the child, a

choice of juice to drink when taking oral medications provides the child with a sense of control.

The preschool child should be prepared before procedures, so limiting explanations of

procedures would increase anxiety. The family should be allowed to stay with the child during

procedures, minimizing stress.

Lidocaine/prilocaine (EMLA) cream is a topical local anesthetic. The nurse should plan to use

the prescribed cream in time for morning laboratory draws to minimize pain.
