Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Available resources within the community can assist the parents in role transition. Some parents may not be able to afford babysitters. Also, this removes them from the parenthood role. Each adult sees parenthood in a different light. They cannot be compared. Searching out resources for the parents is an important task. However, the nurse should not give her personal number to clients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Procedures may vary as long as basic principles are included. There is no evidence that the other nurse gave incorrect information. Telling her whichever way works best or the other nurse does not have much experience do not answer her concerns.
