A nurse established a new parent support group where new parents meet to share problems and solutions. After about 3 months, fewer people were attending. Which of the following actions should the nurse take next?

b. Bring in outside experts to give presentations on specific infancy development issues
c. Change the format of the group meetings to include more time for socialization
d. Suggest an ongoing educational program on infant and child development to renew interest in attending the group
ANS: A
It is also important to remember that groups usually have an anticipated "life expectancy." After the needs of the groups are met through education or support, there may no longer be a need for a particular support group. The FCN should document the history of the group and move forward toward new goals.
