Answer: 1, 3, 4
Explanation: 1. Initial areas of concern for parents of children with a chronic condition include developing specific care skills, reorganizing family roles to incorporate care of the affected child, and continuing to meet other family and social responsibilities. Using the Internet for support would be helpful to meet the needs of the family with a terminally ill child. Encouraging the child's development supports the child's needs and not necessarily those of the parents.
