The nurse demonstrates family-centered care by:
1. Encouraging family visitation.
2. Assuming total care for the client.
3. Expecting the child to perform self-care in activities of daily living.
4. Limiting visitation to four time periods per day.

Rationale:
1. Encouraging visitation recognizes the family as a constant influence and support in a child's life, and is the foundation for developing a trusting relationship with families.
2. Family-centered care does not involve assuming total care for the client.
3. Family-centered care involves more than expectations for the child.
4. Limiting visitation is the exact opposite of providing family-centered care.
