A mother brings 6-month-old Eric to the clinic for a well-baby checkup. She comments, "I want to go back to work, but I don't want Eric to suffer because I'll have less time with him." The nurse's most appropriate answer is:
a. "I'm sure he'll be fine if you get a good babysitter."
b. "You will need to stay home until Eric starts school."
c. "You should go back to work so Eric will get used to being with others."
d. "Let's talk about the child care options that will be best for Eric."
ANS: D
"Let's talk about the child care options that will be best for Eric" is an open-ended statement that will assist the mother in exploring her concerns about what is best for both her and Eric. "I'm sure he'll be fine if you get a good babysitter," "You will need to stay home until Eric starts school," and "You should go back to work so Eric will get used to being with others" are directive statements and do not address the effect of her working on Eric.
