Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse would first try to teach the family how to properly care for their infant. Placement in foster care should be a last resort, unless the infant is in danger from the parents. The mother needs to be supported and encouraged. The interaction between the baby and the family should be documented. The nurse can share the feelings he or she may have during staff conferences, but should not express or direct this anger to the parents.
