A nurse is providing discharge teaching to the family of a 5-year-old child who just had a ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgically placed. Which statement indicates the parents understand the teaching?

1. “There is no chance my child will have a seizure as long as the shunt is functioning correctly.”

2. “We should let our doctor know if the child complains of a worsening headache.”

3. “Our child does not need to be followed by any early intervention programs, unless a problem develops.”

4. “We will observe for symptoms of shunt malfunction until our child has had the shunt for 6 months.”
