Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
All of these options are acceptable, but encouraging them to provide care under supervision during hospitalization will allow them to gain the most confidence in caring for the infant before they leave. It will also allow the nurse to know when they are able to perform the care needed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The mother of a baby with birth defects often feels responsible for the child's abnormality. At present, the cause of meningomyelocele is unknown.
