NURSING
1. The nurse is reviewing statistics on child health. Which factor is MOST important in determining a
child's health status?
A) Genetic predisposition
B) Social determinants of health
C) Access to specialty care

nursing practice?

B) Parents have absolute authority over children's care decisions
C) Children have the right to participate in decisions affecting their health

Rationale: The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child recognizes children as rights-holders who
should participate in decisions affecting them, consistent with their evolving capacities.
