Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Pointing out family traits or characteristics in the newborn is a positive sign of developing early attachment.
Rationale 2: Speaking or singing to the baby frequently and affectionately is a positive sign of developing early attachment.
Rationale 3: During the attachment process, the patient should proceed from fingertip touch to palmar contact to enfolding the infant close to her own body. If the patient continues to touch with only her fingertips, she might not be developing adequate early attachment.
Rationale 4: Being sensitive to the newborn's needs is a positive sign of developing early attachment.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale: Autistic children interpret and respond to the environment differently from other individuals. The child needs to be oriented to new settings and adjusts best to a quiet,controlled environment. A hospital room with only one other child is best.
