A family of dual-parent employment with two school-age children has moved into a community. During the home visit, the nurse overhears the children talking about something on the Internet being more interesting than school work. What type of information would be beneficial for the nurse to share with the parents at this time?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The children of a dual-parent employment family might spend significant amounts of time on the Internet. The parents may not be aware of what Internet sites the children are frequenting. To reduce the amount of time spent alone on the Internet, the nurse should provide the parents with information about community activities planned specifically for after school. This could reduce the amount of time the children spend in the Internet while waiting for parents to return home from work. School clubs that meet on weekends will not help with the children spending time on the Internet during the week. Providing the names of Internet service providers does not address the issue.
Local businesses seeking workers for part-time employment is inappropriate because the children are of school age.
