Correct Answer: C

Question 2 of 5

Question 5 of 5
A school-age child with terminal leukemia is admitted to the pediatric unit. The nurse must discuss advance directives with the child's parents. The nurse should include which information?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse shouldn't give a positive appraisal of the child's prognosis because doing so gives the parents false hope. The nurse must be honest about the child's prognosis and provide them accurate information about treatment options, which include palliative care, comfort care, and pain management. The physician - not the nurse - should discuss such treatment options as chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation, if indicated.
