Individual Practice SWES Practice Test

The selection of informing the parents of potential difficulties as the least effective immediate strategy can be understood through the context of need during such a sensitive time. While it is important for parents to be aware of possible challenges associated with spina bifida, simply providing information doesn't actively support them in coping with the emotional and practical aspects of having a newborn with a medical condition. In contrast, encouraging the mother to seek professional help offers a proactive step towards obtaining specialized assistance, which can be crucial for both the baby and the parents. Providing resources and support gives them tangible tools and information to navigate their new reality, while offering emotional support acknowledges the significant adjustment they are facing and validates their feelings. Therefore, these strategies are more immediately beneficial compared to merely informing them of difficulties, which does not provide the same level of support and reassurance.
