There are many healthcare needs of children with chronic conditions. What nursing strategy would best help parents with continuity of care?
1. Include the family and older child in decision making.
2. Assist the family in gaining transportation to healthcare appointments.
3. Provide the family with resources such as social services.
4. Recognize and respect the cultural needs of the family.
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Continuity of care involves the family and child's participation in their health care. Access to transportation involves access to care, not continuity. Providing resources such as social services is related to comprehensiveness of care, not to continuity. Recognizing and respecting cultural needs are part of the degree to which healthcare services, not continuity of care, are provided.
