After teaching the parents of a newborn boy with periventricular hemorrhage about the disorder and treatment, which statement by the parents indicates that the teaching was successful?
A) "We'll make sure to cover both of his eyes to protect them."
B) "Our newborn could develop a learning disability later on."
C) "Once the bleeding ceases, there won't be any more worries."
D) "We need to get family members to donate blood for transfusion."
B
Response:
Periventricular hemorrhage has long-term sequelae such as seizures, hydrocephalus, periventricular leukomalacia, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, vision or hearing deficits, and mental retardation. Covering the eyes is more appropriate for the newborn receiving phototherapy. The bleeding in the brain can lead to serious long-term effects. Blood transfusions are not used to treat periventricular hemorrhage.

"I didn't know what I was supposed to do. You could see how much the patient needed to control the meeting. So you don't think it was appropriate to let it be for today?" b. "I didn't let the patient monopolize the group. I wasn't sure if I ought to stop the behavior or let the patient talk. What could I have said to end the patient's monopolizing of the group?" c. "Honestly, I never feel you are satisfied with my work. Why don't you lead the group next time? That will give me an opportunity to observe you appropriately managing the patient's need to monopolize the group.". d. "I felt that the patient needed to express feelings and that the control was a rather tenuous one that required sensitivity and patience. I believe the other patients felt that, too, which is why they let the patient monopolize the group.".
