should the nurse do?
A) Seek permission from unit management and the physician to allow the sibling to visit.
B) Offer to make counseling available to the sibling.
C) Tell the parent that visiting is not permitted and offer to take pictures of the client.
D) Tell the parent to bring the sibling in to visit in the middle of the night. - answer✔Answer: A
Explanation:
A) The nurse realizes that certain rules are in place for the protection of clients. The nurse would
be compassionate enough to seek permission to allow the sibling to visit and see that the infant is
alive and being cared for. Telling the parent what the rules of the unit are will only increase the
family's frustration when they are looking to the nurse for assistance. Offering counseling may or
may not be an effective means of assisting the family. The sibling needs to be reassured that the
infant is alive. The nurse would not make the decision without the permission of the management
team.
