A family wants to begin oral feeding of their 4-year-old son, who is ventilator-dependent and currently tube-fed. They ask the home health nurse to feed him the baby food orally. The nurse recognizes a high risk of aspiration and an already compromised respiratory status. The most appropriate nursing action is to:
a.   refuse to feed him orally because the risk is too high.
b.   explain the risks involved, and then let the family decide what should be done.
c.   feed him orally because the family has the right to make this decision for their child.
d.   acknowledge their request, explain the risks, and explore with the family the available options.
