Answer to Question 1

C
Just as the mother is taking in the reality of having given birth, so is the father. Just the way the mother assumes the enface position when the mother is engrossed in the infant, so does the father. Disinterest is not a normal response, which requires the nurse to facilitate attachment behaviors. Although uneasiness is normal following the initial engrossment, it is not the initial response. Passiveness is not a normal behavior and may require the nurse to facilitate attachment behaviors.
