Answer to Question 1

a. En face behavior is observed between father and infant.
b. Mother relates that she feels exhilarated postbirth.
c. Mother states that she feels excessive fatigue as a result of the childbirth experience.
d. Father displays finger tipping behavior toward infant.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Providing the older son with a special role designation and involving him in the care of the baby will facilitate sibling attachment. Spending individual time with the older child is recommended but will not facilitate sibling attachment. Although the older child should be supervised because of his age in terms of infant safety, this level of overprotection may inhibit sibling attachment. Observation of his behavior may be warranted, but the age of the child (2 years) does not warrant this type of control.
