Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
During the taking-in phase of maternal adaptation, in which the mother may be passive and dependent, the nurse should encourage bonding when the infant is in the quiet alert stage. This is done best by simply giving the baby to the mother. She learns best during the taking-hold phase. The woman is dependent and passive at this stage and may have difficulty making a decision. This is expected behavior during the taking-in phase. However, interventions can facilitate infant bonding.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Reliving the birth experience makes the event real and helps the mother realize that the pregnancy is over and that the infant is born and is now a separate individual. She is in the taking-in phase, trying to make the birth experience seem real. This is to satisfy her needs, not the needs of others. She is trying to make the event real and is trying to separate the infant from herself.
