Question 1 of 5
The parents of a newborn infant diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism and Down syndrome tell the nurse how despondent they are that their child was born with these problems. They had many plans for a normal child, and now these will need to be adjusted. On the basis of these statements, the nurse identifies which concern for the parents?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Depression is a normal part of the grieving process. It is a reaction to practical implications related to loss. Although the parents may have trouble adjusting and have anger, the best answer is to address their depression and sadness. The grief process includes intellectual and emotional responses and behaviors by which individuals and families work through the process of modifying their self-concepts on the basis of the perception of potential loss. Characteristics include expressions of sorrow and distress at the potential loss.
