The nurse is planning care for an adolescent client who will be hospitalized for several weeks following a traumatic brain injury. Which interventions will enhance family-centered care for this client and family?
1. Making all ADL decisions for the adolescent and family
2. Asking the adolescent what foods to include during meal time
3. Allowing the family time to pray each day with the adolescent
4. Encouraging the adolescent's friends to visit during visiting hours
5. Leaving all questions for the healthcare provider
Correct Answer: 2,3,4
Rationale: Interventions that will enhance family-centered care for this client and family include asking the adolescent to be an active member of care by making food choices, allowing the family to pray each day with the adolescent, and encouraging the adolescent's friends to visit during visiting hours. These interventions each promote the concepts of family-centered care. Making all decisions for the adolescent and family and leaving all questions for the healthcare provider do not promote the concepts of family-centered care.
