Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By asking the mother how she envisions her role as a grandmother, the nurse can help the mother explore her expectations and responsibilities as a grandmother. This can lead to a discussion about how much time and energy she can realistically devote to her grandchild, and what other supports (such as co-grandparents or alternate childcare arrangements) may be available. This approach is respectful of the mother's concerns and empowers her to make informed decisions about her role as a grandmother. Option B is dismissive of the mother's concerns and does not provide any helpful information. Option C assumes that there is another grandmother available, which may not be the case. Option D is not respectful of the mother's autonomy and does not take into account her personal circumstances.
