A mother of two children, an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old, tells you that her husband has recently been deployed to the Middle East
The mother is concerned about the children's constant interest in watching TV news coverage of activities in the Middle East. The most appropriate suggestion for the nurse to make to this mother would be: 1. "Allow the children to watch as much television as they want. This is how they are coping with their father's absence." 2. "It will just take some time to adjust to their father's absence, then everything will return to normal." 3. "The less that you discuss this, the quicker the children will adjust to their father's absence. Try to keep them busy and use distractions to keep their mind off of it." 4. "Spend time with your children, and take cues from them about how much they want to discuss."
