Answer to Question 1

3. Ask the parents of the baby what their needs are regarding the family request

Rationale:
The mother and the baby's father may be acculturated to contemporary American life enough that they might not want the extended family in attendance even though they know this is traditional. Before confronting the family by asking them to leave or calling security, the parents of the baby are consulted first. If the parents agree to the extra visitors, then seeking the assistance of the manager is inappropriate.

Answer to Question 2

2. Disturbed Body Image

Rationale:
The nursing diagnosis to support this client's needs would be disturbed body image. There is not enough information to determine whether the client does or does not have ineffective coping or deficient knowledge. The nurse is unable to determine whether the client has impaired tissue integrity based upon the client's information.
