A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about wearing medical masks. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?

A. This response acknowledges the parent's concern but maintains confidentiality regarding the report. It offers to involve the supervisor, which is a reasonable step. However, it may leave the parent feeling uneasy or uncertain.
B. This response directly informs the parent about the legal obligation of the nurse to report suspected child abuse. It provides clarity on why the nurse took action. However, it might be perceived as abrupt or lacking empathy.
C. This response suggests that someone else (possibly a healthcare provider or another authority figure) will explain the situation later. It doesn't directly address the reason for the nurse's action or the legal requirement to report.
D. This response explains the chain of events, from reporting to the supervisor's decision to contact authorities. It provides information but might not directly address the parent's emotional concern or the legal obligation of the nurse.

A. This statement suggests that outcomes are unpredictable and not influenced by factors such as adherence to a medical regimen or behavioral changes. According to the Theory of Reasoned Action/Planned Behavior, behavior is influenced by attitudes and intentions, which can be assessed and potentially modified through education and intervention.
B. Poor adherence to the recommended medical regimen (such as diet, exercise, and possibly medication) increases the risk of complications in individuals with diabetes mellitus. According to the Theory of Reasoned Action/Planned Behavior, if the client has negative attitudes toward the meal plan and exercise regimen (low motivation), and if they perceive these behaviors as difficult to perform (low perceived behavioral control), they are less likely to adhere to the plan. This could lead to poor outcomes, including complications related to diabetes.
C. This option suggests that outcomes will not significantly differ regardless of the client's adherence to the medical regimen or behavioral changes. However, according to the Theory of Reasoned Action/Planned Behavior, attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control influence behavior and subsequently affect outcomes.
D. Education plays a critical role in the Theory of Reasoned Action/Planned Behavior. By providing education, the nurse can influence the client's attitudes and perceptions regarding the importance and feasibility of adhering to the meal plan and starting an exercise regimen.
