Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing care to a school-aged child who has uncontrolled asthma. The child's parent does not seem engaged in the child's treatment during the hospitalization and states that the child manages their care with little assistance from them. Which of the following nursing interventions is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Educating the parent comprehensively empowers them to engage in asthma management, addressing their lack of involvement constructively. Contacting child protective services is premature, a schedule alone doesn't engage the parent, and reviewing the plan with only the child and school nurse excludes the parent.
