The nurse caring for an adolescent asks where he is planning to go to college. The client states that his parents expect him go to college but they have not told him where he will be going yet
The nurse anticipates the parents use what type of parenting style? 1. Responsive
2. Permissive
3. Authoritarian
4. Demanding
1
Rationale: If the parents are telling the child where he will go to college, instead of deciding with the teen or asking the teen where he wants to go, it is a pretty good indication that these parents have a high measure of control, so the nurse anticipates an authoritarian parenting style. The parents who manage with a low level of control use a permissive style. Responsiveness and demandingness are factors used to determine parenting style.
