    Select All That Apply

    Patient Data Exhibits Review H and P, nurse's notes, laboratory results, orders, 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 nurse would like to give some education to the parents before discharge. What should the nurse include in pre-discharge education for this child's parents? Select all that apply.

    Explanation & Rationale

    A) Correct - Providing contact information for community resources is important as it ensures that parents have access to support and information beyond the hospital setting. B) Correct - Offering information about pool safety is relevant, especially considering that the child experienced a submersion injury. This education can help prevent future accidents. C) Incorrect - While discussing child neglect is important, it may not be the most appropriate time to bring up potential charges. The immediate focus should be on education and support. D) Correct - Informing parents about when to follow up with the child's pediatrician ensures continuity of care and monitoring of the child's condition after discharge. E) Incorrect - Instructions on how to access long-term home care may not be necessary if the child's condition does not warrant it. This option can be excluded based on the information provided. F) Incorrect - Assessing the parent's coping skills is important, but it is not part of pre- discharge education. Education related to the child's condition and safety is more pertinent.
