Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Concerns expressed by visually impaired mothers include infant safety, extra time needed for parenting activities, transportation, handling other people's reactions, providing proper discipline, and missing out visually. Blind people sense reluctance on the part of others to acknowledge that they have a right to be parents; however, blind parents are fully capable of caring for their infants.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Before providing further instructions, inform family members of the fact that postpartum blues are a normal process. Telling her partner to ignore the mood swings does not encourage further communication and may belittle the husband's concerns. Postpartum blues are usually short-lived; no medical intervention is needed. Client teaching is important; however, the new father's anxieties need to be allayed before he will be receptive to teaching.
