3. consult with the physician aboutallowing the child to participate in band activities.
4. discourage the child from playing inthe band.

Question 2

The nurse is caring for a patient who recently emigrated from a southeast Asian country. The mother has been resting since the birth, while her sister has changed the diapers and fed the infant.

The most likely explanation for this behavior is that the patient: 1. Is not attaching to her infant appropriately.
2. Is not going to be a good mother, and the baby is at risk.
3. Has no mother present to role-model behaviors.
4. Is exhibiting normal behavior for her culture.
