Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The diagnosis parental role conflict would address the parents' work responsibilities and schedules and the relationship of work to the child's extended hospitalization.

A This may understimulate the infant during those long periods and overtire the
infant during the procedures.
B This may cause overstimulation.
C Parents should be taught these signs of overstimulation so they will learn to
adapt their care to the needs of their infant.
D Placing objects on top of the incubator or using it as a writing surface increases
the noise inside.
