Nursing — Family Advocacy and Caring
Question Stem:
Parents of a 5-year-old newly diagnosed with
type 1 diabetes tell you they feel overwhelmed
and unable to manage insulin administration at
home. Which nursing action best demonstrates
family advocacy?
A. Teach the parents how to draw up and
administer insulin during discharge teaching.
B. Arrange a home-health nurse visit and
connect the family with a diabetes education
support group.
C. Provide a printed schedule of insulin times
,and call the family in 48 hours to check
adherence.
D. Recommend the child be admitted to a
pediatric diabetes camp for additional training.
Correct Answer: B
Rationales:
• Correct (B): Arranging home-health support
and linking the family to community
education addresses barriers, enhances
competence, and advocates for ongoing
family-centered support per Wong’s
emphasis on family advocacy and resource
coordination.
• A (incorrect): Teaching is necessary but
insufficient alone—advocacy includes
linking to resources and ensuring ongoing
support.
• C (incorrect): A printed schedule and a call
are helpful but do not provide the hands-on
, support and community linkage the family
needs.
• D (incorrect): A diabetes camp may help
long-term but is not the immediate,
practical advocacy intervention for
overwhelmed parents.
Teaching Point: Coordinate resources and
support to empower family caregiving.
