2. Parents of a hospitalized toddler ask the nurse, ―What is meant by family-centered care?‖ The nurse
should respond with which statement?
a. Family-centered care reduces the effect of cultural diversity on the family.
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.

research evidence combined with clinical expertise and patient values.

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.
