A new patient is admitted to the pediatric clinic. The nurse wants to partner with the parents in creating a health care home. The first step for the nurse in becoming an effective partner with the parents would be to:
1. Develop a relationship with the parents with open supportive communication and display an interest and a concern for the family's goals.
2. Determine the family's financial stability and identify community resources.
3. Provide the parents with the nurse's home phone number so the parents can call when they need information.
4. Remind the parents that it is necessary for the child to receive health supervision on a regular basis.

Rationale 1: A relationship must develop before a partnership can be developed.
Rationale 2: As a component of the partnership, community resources will be utilized, but that will occur after a relationship is developed. The nurse does not determine financial stability.
Rationale 3: It is inappropriate for the parents to call the nurse outside the clinic.
Rationale 4: While it is appropriate for the child to receive regular health supervision, reminding the parents of this need is not the first step in developing a partnership.
