The nurse is working with an adolescent parent. The adolescent tells the nurse, I'm really scared that I won't take care of my baby correctly. My mother says I'll probably hurt the baby because I'm too young to be a mother.

What is the best response by the nurse? 1. You are very young, and parenting will be a challenge for you.
2. Your mother was probably right. Be very careful with your baby.
3. Mothers have instincts that kick in when they get their babies home.
4. We can give the baby's bath together. I'll help you learn how to do it.
