A 6-year-old boy with cerebral palsy has been admitted to the hospital for some tests. His condition is stable. The boy's mother remains with her son, but she is obviously exhausted and stressed. Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate?

After S.B. stabilizes from this the brief episode of increased intracranial pressure (ICP), he stays in the
hospital for 72 hours, during which time his condition remains relatively stable. Before discharge, bilat eral short arm casts are applied. Arrangements have been made for him to go to his family home for recuperation. As you are evaluating discharge teaching for S.B., you would understand that further teaching would be required if he stated: a. "I will try to avoid blowing my nose for the next 2 weeks." b. "If I start vomiting, I will return to the hospital immediately." c. "If I do not move my bowels each day, I will take a Dulcolax." d. "Because a headache is expected, I can take aspirin for the pain."
