The nurse is visiting the home of a family with a previous history of physical neglect. Which observation indicates that interventions have not been successful?
A) The mother feeds the children a total vegetarian diet.
B) The father encourages male children to play high school football.
C) The mother worries that immunizations will be painful for the children.
D) The father allows the children to stay home from school whenever they desire.
D
Feedback:
Not requiring a child to attend school may be interpreted as neglect. Following a vegetarian diet, encouraging participating in sports, and concern about immunization discomfort do not indicate that interventions to address physical neglect have not been successful.
