A nurse is discussing health promotion activities with parents of a 4-year-old child. What health promotion activity is most appropriate for this family?

a) The nonbiological father from the heterosexual father cohabitating with the family: While he may have a close relationship, legal consent might not be automatically granted without legal documentation or permission.

b) The divorced father from the binuclear family: the divorced father from a binuclear family can consent to treatment since he is a biologic parent to the baby.

c) The stepfather from the blended family: Emergency medical consent might require legal documentation or guardianship unless specifically granted through legal means.

d) The divorced father when the single parent mother has custody: Unless specified in custody documents, emergency medical consent might still require the custodial parent's approval or both parents' consent.

A. Do not report any pause in respiration unless it's greater than 20 seconds.Any pause in respiration can be significant in neonates. A pause in breathing, even if less than 20 seconds, should be reported, as it could indicate a potential problem. This option downplays the importance of monitoring respiratory patterns.

B. Report any neonate with nasal flaring.Nasal flaring in a neonate is a sign of respiratory distress. This instruction is essential because nasal flaring indicates the infant is working harder to breathe and may require further evaluation and intervention.

C. Report any pause in respiration greater than 10 seconds.While this is important, nasal flaring is a more immediate and visible sign of respiratory distress that should be reported.

D. Report any respiratory rate of 40 or greater.A respiratory rate of 40 breaths per minute is within the normal range for neonates. Reporting a normal rate would not be necessary and could create unnecessary concern.
