D. Determining sole or joint custody by the parents
Answer: D abirb.com/test

consent, but it is always best to have consent given by b

injury, and premature death; achieve health equity, elim inate disparities, and improve

the health of all groups; create physical and social environments that promote good
health; and promote healthy development and behaviors across every stage of life.
Volunteering at a local health care clain
biirbc.cdir/teescttly reflects the goal of improving the
om
health of all groups of people. Signing up for classes, performing in-services on
equipment, and compiling nursing articles on evidence-based practices in nursing
are all worthwhile activities that foster health care delivery, but are not as directly

C. Assuring the child that the test will be done quickly abirb.com/test

care. Arranging for the mother to be with the child, assuring the child that the test
will be done quickly, and introducing the child to the lababtierbc.chomn/itcesia

C. Parents ultimately are the decision makers regarding medical treatment for their
children younger than the age of 18.
D. When divorce occurs, the parent with whom the childabiisrb.lciovmin /tegst on a daily basis
will be granted custody of the child.
Answer: C abirb.com/test
Rationale: Parents ultimately are the decision makers for their children. Generally,
only persons over the age of majority (18 years of age) can legally provide consent
for health care. Minors (children younger than 18 years aobfirba.cg ome/)tesgt enerally require
adult guardians to act on their behalf. Biological or adoptive parents are usually
considered to be the child's legal guardian. When divorce occurs, one or both
parents may be granted custody of the child. In certain cases (such as child
violence or neglect, or during foster care), a guardian adabilribt.emmay be appointed by

the courts. This person generally serves to protect the child's best interests.
