The nurse works with both the child and parents to help the child develop interpersonal skills. Which of the following general outcomes facilitates engaging the parents in the process?
1. Increasing knowledge of the child's psychopathology
2. Understanding the child's unique temperament and needs
3. Responding to separation anxiety
4. Administering PRN medications effectively
2
Rationale: A general outcome is for the parents to develop a better understanding of the child's unique temperament and needs. The significance of this outcome is that as they work with the nurse to improve a child's interpersonal skills and become a more active social partner, the child should begin to engage the parents and respond in ways that reward their caregiving. Engaging the child in interpersonal skills will not facilitate the parents' ability to perform the specific functions of administering PRN medications effectively, responding to separation anxiety, or understanding of the child's psychopathology.
