Select all that apply

To help the parents decrease their anxiety, the nurse can: A. Provide the parents with ideas about how to make their child feel better after the procedure. This can help reassure the parents that they can support their child during the recovery process. D. Find a comfortable area that the parents can wait that is close to the procedure area. Being close to the procedure area allows the parents to stay informed and feel more connected to their child during the procedure. E. Do not give any specifics on the amount of time the procedure will take. Providing a specific time may increase anxiety, so it's often better to provide a general idea of the timeframe. Option B is not appropriate because stating that the procedure is 100% effective and safe may not be accurate and could lead to false expectations. Option C is not appropriate because limiting visitation based on the parents' anxiety is not typically recommended. Supportive presence is generally encouraged for both the child and parents.
