B) Offer to make counseling available to the sibling.
C) Tell the parent that visiting is not permitted and offer to take pictures of the client.

Explanation:
A) The nurse realizes that certain rules are in place for the protection of clients. The nurse would

infant is alive. The nurse would not make the decision without the permission of the management
team.
