A nurse is teaching a client who has alcohol use disorder about disulfiram. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Rationale:

A. “Our children can stay up as late as they prefer.” This statement reflects a permissive parenting style, where few rules are enforced and children have significant freedom. Parents in this style often avoid setting firm boundaries, which contrasts sharply with the strict control seen in authoritarian parenting.

B. “Our children are allowed to make their own choices.” This reflects an authoritative parenting style, which balances independence with guidance. Authoritative parents encourage decision-making while still providing consistent rules and support. This collaborative, approach differs significantly from the rigid and demanding nature of authoritarian parenting.

C. “We make decisions as a family.” This statement also aligns with authoritative parenting, which values communication, mutual respect, and shared problem-solving. Children’s input is considered, helping them develop confidence and reasoning skills. Such family-centered decision-making is not present in authoritarian households.

D. “We expect our children to do what we say without any questions.” Authoritarian parenting focuses on obedience, strict rules, and limited negotiation. Children are expected to comply without explanation, and parents often enforce discipline rigidly. This style places emphasis on control rather than communication.

Rationale:

A. Instruct the client to carry the newborn in their arms when going to the nursery: Carrying a newborn to the nursery without security measures increases the risk of abduction. Infants should always be transported in a secure bassinet or by authorized staff using the hospital’s safety protocols.

B. Remove the electronic security sensor when the newborn is in the client's room: The electronic security sensor is essential for monitoring the newborn’s location within the hospital. Removing it defeats the purpose of the abduction prevention system and is unsafe.

C. Apply identification bands after the newborn's first bath: Identification bands should be applied immediately after birth to ensure accurate identification from the start. Waiting until after the first bath delays verification and increases risk for misidentification or abduction.

D. Discourage family from posting photos of the newborn on social media: Sharing identifiable information or images online can inadvertently alert potential abductors to the newborn’s presence. Families should be advised to limit social media exposure until the infant’s safety can be ensured.
