Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The nurse should assess each aspect of grieving to fully understand where family members are in their grief in order to offer the most effective assistance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The best advice is to introduce one solid at a time, allowing several days between. Cereals should be introduced first, followed by fruits and vegetables. Meats should be introduced last. Avoid mixing foods to allow the infant to develop an interest in different tastes. Strained foods should not be added to a bottle.
