As the child goes through the different phases of growth and development,goals and interventions will change to meet the changing needs of the child.This may require frequent care planning meetings and plan updates.The nurse may be also following regulations,but that response does not give the parent useful information.The plan should be based on the child's needs.Asking if the parent wants to change the frequency of meetings is a yes/no question and does not explain the rationale.Of course the parent can opt out of meetings,but the plan will be substandard,and again this does not give the parent useful information.
