    Exhibits Review H and P, nurse's notes, laboratory results, prescriptions, and imaging studies. The child is showing only minor signs of impact from the submersion injury and will likely be discharged in the morning. The PN would like to reinforce education to the parents before discharge. Which should the practical nurse (PN) reinforce in pre-discharge education for this child's parents? Select all that apply.

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. A warning about potential charges for child neglect This is not appropriate in a pre-discharge education context. The focus should be on providing support and education to prevent future incidents and to help the parents understand the importance of supervision and safety. B. Information about pool safety Providing information about pool safety is essential to prevent future drowning incidents. Parents should be educated on supervision, barriers, and emergency response measures like CPR. This helps ensure the child's safety and reduces the risk of similar accidents. C. Instructions on how to access long-term home care Long-term home care instructions are unnecessary unless the child has specific ongoing medical needs resulting from the submersion. Since the child is showing only minor signs of impact, this education is not relevant. D. When to follow up with the child's pediatrician Clear instructions on when to follow up with the pediatrician ensure ongoing monitoring for any delayed effects of the submersion injury. This follow-up helps address any emerging health concerns and reassures the parents about their child's recovery. E. Assessment of the parent's coping skills Assessing the parents' coping skills is important to understand their emotional and psychological state post-incident. This can help identify any need for further support or counseling, ensuring the family is equipped to handle the situation. F. Contact information for community resources Providing contact information for community resources offers additional support to the parents, such as access to counseling, parenting classes, or safety courses. This reinforces the safety education provided and ensures the parents have resources to turn to if needed
