B) The nurse adjusting her office schedule to be available
C) Urging parents to arrange respite care whenever possible
D) Monitoring the mother for depression
B
Feedback:
The family would benefit most if the nurse adjusted her office schedule to be available when they need help. Asking the father for his observations, urging parents to arrange respite care, and monitoring the mother for depression are not uniquely special needs interventions.
