Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

The family's ability to cope is compromised by the child's developmental variations, but the family is not dysfunctional. Hopelessness and Impaired Parenting are not appropriate in the given situation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

The mother who is taking Wellbutrin is most likely experiencing depression and anxiety, which may interfere with her interacting appropriately with her infant and puts the child at risk for failure to thrive. A glass of wine once a week is appropriate. The mother's aversion to cooking will not affect the infant. Needing help with breastfeeding is normal for a first-time mother.
