The nurse should first assess what information the parent has already received from the physician and then continue to provide education and clarification as needed. This response shows active listening and collaboration with the parent to ensure they have accurate information. Option A may be true in some cases, but may not apply to all situations. Option C is inaccurate, as many blood disorders are chronic and may require ongoing treatment. Option D is too vague and does not provide enough information to address the parent's concerns.
