The community nurse identifies that a family new to the community needs assistance with family dynamics and material resources. What should the nurse consider offering to the parents of this family to support their needs?
Select all that apply.
A) A list of free counseling services to assist with parental stress
B) Hours of the local health clinic
C) Location of the community library
D) Location of the community co-op food bank
E) Hours when the park is open
Answer: A, B, D
When working with families, nurses will often need to collaborate with other healthcare professionals. For families in need of counseling, financial assistance may be available. When making these recommendations, nurses should be aware of some stigmas surrounding therapy and counseling, and work to assure families of the potential benefits of these modes of care. Families facing economic challenges should be made aware of community resources, including wellness clinics and food banks. The hours for the library and the park would not help the family with the issues that the nurse observed.

The nurse explains the way to tell if nitroglycerine is still effective is: 1. If it resolves the chest pain, it's working; if not, it should be replaced. 2. If, when it's placed under the tongue, it produces a tingling sensation. 3. To look at the color of the pill; if it's still white, it's still good. 4. If it hasn't been exposed to air, it will last for five years.
