A mother brings a child to the pediatric office for a sick visit. The nurse should:
1. Focus exclusively on the reported illness.
2. Review health promotion and maintenance activities.
3. Ask the mother to leave the room after obtaining the history.
4. Obtain a comprehensive history, including sociodemographic data.
2
Rationale:
1. Focusing exclusively on the reported illness(es) ignores the opportunity to use health promotion strategies.
2. A nurse should use every opportunity and office visit to review health promotion and maintenance activities.
3. There are not enough data in this scenario to determine whether the mother should be asked to leave the room.
4. There is not enough information to indicate that a comprehensive history should be taken at this visit.
