Rationale 1: The incorporation of the family’s cultural perspective into the care plan is most likely toresult in the family’s ability to accept medical care and comply with the regimen prescribed. Sinceculture develops from social learning, attempts to ignore or minimize cultural consideration willresult in mistrust, suspicion, or offenses that can have negative effects upon the health of children byreducing the resources available to promote health and prevent illness. Complementary therapy maybe used later if other primary therapies prove to be ineffective.Rationale 2: The incorporation of the family’s cultural perspective into the care plan is most likely toresult in the family’s ability to accept medical care and comply with the regimen prescribed.

What is the level of involvement in treatment decision making for thischild?1.That of an emancipated minor.2.That of a mature minor.3.That of assent.4.None.Correct Answer:3Rationale 1: Assent requires the ability to generally understand what procedure and treatments areplanned, to understand what participation is required, and to make a statement of agreement ordisagreement with the plan. Usually, in Piaget’s stage of formal operations, 11- to 13-year-oldsshould be able to problem solve using abstract concepts and are able to give valid assent whenparents sign the informed consent. An emancipated minor is a self-supporting adolescent who is notsubject to the control of a parent or guardian. A mature minor is a 14- or 15-year-old whom the statelaw designates as being able to understand medical risks and who is thus permitted to give informedconsent for treatment.Rationale 2: Assent requires the ability to generally understand what procedure and treatments areplanned, to understand what participation is required, and to make a statement of agreement ordisagreement with the plan.
