    A nurse is teaching a newly hired nurse about emotional responses when caring for a terminally ill child and their family. Which of the following statements by the newly hired nurse indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation

    A. Participating in grief and death education helps nurses understand their own emotional responses, develop coping strategies, and process grief effectively. This allows them to provide compassionate care without becoming overwhelmed by personal emotions. This statement demonstrates understanding of professional self-care and emotional preparedness. B. Ignoring feelings of guilt is unhealthy and can lead to burnout or unresolved grief. Nurses are encouraged to acknowledge and process these emotions rather than suppress them. C. It is not appropriate to disclose the nurse’s personal grief to the family; professional boundaries must be maintained. The focus should remain on supporting the family, not on the nurse’s personal emotions. D. Personal involvement with clients and families is expected in pediatric end-of-life care, as it fosters therapeutic relationships and empathetic care. Emotional engagement is natural and part of providing quality care.
