Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A new mother telling her friends all about her labor and birth experience is an example of binding in or claiming. A new mother telling her friends all about her labor and birth experience is an example of the taking-in phase of maternal adaptation. A mother who reports increasing anxiety during the postpartum period because she feels like she is all alone may be problematic and indicates that the client is experiencing significant stressors during the postpartum period. A mother wanting some time alone so that she can catch up on needed sleep is a normal reaction to the demands of the newborn and reflects that the client may need additional support during this time.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Allowing the client to express feelings will provide positive support in her process of maternal adjustment. Discussing child care arrangements is an important step in anticipatory guidance but is not the best way to offer support. She should be instrumental in solving the problem; however, allowing her time to express her feelings and talk the problem over will assist her in making this decision. Reassuring her that she will get used to leaving the baby blocks communication and belittles the client's feelings.
