Patient Data Exhibits What can the nurse do to help the parents decrease their anxiety? Select all that apply.

Choice A reason: Telling the parents that the procedure is 100% effective and safe is misleading and unethical. No medical procedure can be guaranteed to be completely effective and without risk. Choice B reason: Providing the parents with ideas about how to make their child feel better after the procedure can be comforting and can help them feel more involved and prepared for post-procedure care. Choice C reason: Finding a comfortable area for the parents to wait that is close to the procedure area can help reduce their anxiety by keeping them informed and involved in the process. Choice D reason: Limiting visitation can increase anxiety as it separates the parents from their child, which can be distressing for both the child and the parents. Choice E reason: Not providing any specifics on the amount of time the procedure will take can increase anxiety due to uncertainty. It is better to give a realistic time frame when possible.
