The statement "I know my child will get better and not have to take any more medication" requires additional nursing interventions as it may create unrealistic expectations and lead to noncompliance with necessary treatments or medications. The nurse should provide education to the parent about the chronic nature of their child's condition and the importance of ongoing management and medication adherence.
