A) Spending off-duty time with children and families
B) Asking questions if families are not participating in the care
C) Clarifying information for families
D) Buying toys for a hospitalized child
E) Learning about the family's religious preferences

Asking questions if families are not participating in the care, clarifying information for families, and learning about the family's religious preferences are positive actions and foster therapeutic relationships with children and families. Spending off-duty time with children and families and buying toys for a hospitalized child are negative actions and indicate overinvolvement with children and families, which is nontherapeutic.
