A child with a recent kidney transplant has requested to have the same nurse everyday. Which of the following is the best response?

Explanation

•Assigning the same nurses to a patient should be encouraged. This will promote continuity of care and decrease patient anxiety.

•Having a variety of nurses does not ensure quality of care.

•Overinvolvement should be considered when making patient assignments, but in this situation there is no evidence of overinvolvement.
