As medical care has evolved, it has become more common for children with genetic disorders to live longer. What impact does this have on health care delivery for the nurse providing care for these children?
1. Health care delivery is becoming more complex, despite these children requiring less care as they age.
2. Nurses should not spend much time at the bedside, as these children will eventually die of these disorders.
3. Nurses must be familiar with increasing numbers of genetic disorders and the care these children require.
4. Health care delivery will become more and more expensive until children with genetic disorders will have to do without.

Rationale 1: Children with genetic disorders typically require more care that is more complex.
Rationale 2: Regardless of the time these children will survive, nurses must still spend time at the bedside in order to provide appropriate nursing care.
Rationale 3: As advances in genetics continue, nurses will need to become familiar with more disorders in order to provide appropriate care for these children.
Rationale 4: Children with genetic disorders will obtain the care needed regardless of the expense.
