A nurse is caring for a client who asks, "Can I decide not to continue with chemotherapy?" The nurse responds, "This is your choice, and I'll support whatever decision you make." The nurse's response is an example of which of the following ethical principles?

The correct answer is choice b. “I carry my baby with me as I move around the house.”

Choice A rationale:

Warming a baby’s bottle in the microwave is not recommended because it can create hot spots that might burn the baby’s mouth. This indicates a misunderstanding of safe bottle-warming practices.

Choice B rationale:

Carrying the baby while moving around the house promotes bonding and provides the baby with a sense of security. This indicates an understanding of the importance of physical closeness and attachment.

Choice C rationale:

Limiting the time grandparents cuddle the baby to prevent spoiling is a misconception. Babies cannot be spoiled by being held and cuddled; in fact, physical affection is crucial for their emotional development.

Choice D rationale:

Using baby talk when talking to a baby is actually beneficial for language development. It helps the baby learn the sounds and rhythms of speech, so this statement also indicates an understanding of effective communication with infants.

. Engage the family in informal conversation. The first step in caring for a client with dementia is to establish a relationship of trust and comfort with the client and their family. Engaging the family in informal conversation can help the nurse gain insight into the family's needs and concerns, as well as provide an opportunity to establish rapport. Encouraging the family to join a support group, providing information about respite care, and educating the family regarding the progression of dementia are important steps in caring for a client with dementia, but they should follow the initial step of engaging the family in informal conversation.
