A home health nurse is teaching a guardian about administering tube feedings to their 3-
month-old infant. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

 

 

 

 

A. Irregular uterine contractions at 38 weeks of gestation may not be a concern unless they become regular and more intense.

B. A client scheduled for a nonstress test (NST) at 39 weeks of gestation can typically wait until after attending to more urgent matters.

C. A client scheduled for an induction of labor at 40 weeks of gestation is not necessarily a priority unless there are urgent concerns.

D. Decreased fetal movement, especially for 2 days at 36 weeks of gestation, requires immediate assessment to ensure fetal well-being.

A. Encouraging the parents to suppress their grief can be detrimental to their emotional well- being and may inhibit healthy grieving processes.
B. Avoiding discussing the funeral when the child is around may create confusion and anxiety for the child, who may sense that something significant is happening but is excluded from the discussion.
C. Including the child in the funeral service before visitors arrive allows the child to be part of the grieving process and provides an opportunity for closure and understanding of the sibling's death in a supportive environment.
D. While it is important for parents to understand how school-age children perceive death, this statement does not offer guidance on how to support the child during the grieving process.
