Rationale:
1. When working with families in the home, make sure that house rules are negotiated. Be sure to discuss guidelines for the expected behavior and role of the nurse, as well as the family's preferences for involvement in the care of the child.
2. The size of the child's room has no bearing on the child's care as given by the family members.
3. It is not necessary for both parents to participate in the care of the child. It must be an individual family's decision based on what is best for the family and the particular child.
4. Training all members to particpate in the care of the child might be inappropriate based each member's age, abilities, and deverlopmental stage.
