The nurse is caring for a 5-year-old girl with a disseminated medulloblastoma. Which of the following interventions would be most appropriate for this situation?
A) Providing emotional support to the parents and siblings of the child
B) Recommending support groups for people whose children have cancer
C) Encouraging the family to cry and express feelings away from the child
D) Educating the family about the disease, its treatments, and side effects
C
Feedback:
The outcome of this highly malignant medulloblastoma is not positive. Helping the family through anticipatory grieving by encouraging the family to cry and express feelings away from the child would be unique to this child's situation. Educating the family about the disease, its treatments, and side effects; recommending support groups; and providing emotional support to the parents and siblings would be appropriate for any child with cancer.
