Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. While acknowledging the father's concerns is important, this response doesn't provide guidance on addressing potential depression in the son.
B. Offering to refer the son for evaluation with a therapist if mood issues are noticed is important and provides proactive support and guidance for addressing potential depression but screening children with a risk factor for depression from the age of 11 is the best choice.
C. While regular screening may be indicated for at-risk teens, waiting until age 14 may miss opportunities for early intervention in some cases.
D. Screening for depression is recommended for all children aged 11 and older, especially those who have a family history of depression or other risk factors. The nurse should inform the father that screening his son for depression is important and can help identify any signs or symptoms early. This is based on the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics, which state that pediatric primary care providers should screen all children and adolescents for depression at least once a year, starting from age 11.

A. Ask other Asians to explain their culture. B. Hire an interpreter to explain the family culture. C. Just ask the family about their culture and listen. D. Research the culture and base care on findings.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Assuming all Asians have the same culture is a generalization and may not accurately represent the specific cultural background of the family in question.
B. Hiring an interpreter may be helpful for language translation but may not provide insights into the nuances of the family's cultural beliefs and practices.
C. Directly engaging with the family and listening to their perspectives allows for a better understanding of their specific cultural beliefs and preferences.
D. While research can provide valuable information, direct communication with the family is essential for truly understanding their cultural needs and preferences.
