Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most important statement for the nurse to make is B. It is important for the parents to be prepared for the physical appearance of their child, which can be distressing. While A and C may eventually be important topics to discuss, they are not the most urgent immediately upon arrival. Option D is not an appropriate statement, as it does not provide the family with accurate information about the severity of the situation.
