Answer to Question 1

4
1. Incorrect. This strategy is a negative approach to facilitation of sibling acceptance of the new infant.
2. Incorrect. Reactions of siblings may result from temporary separation from the mother. Removing the older child from the home when the new infant arrives may enhance negative behaviors from the older child resulting from separation from the mother.
3. Incorrect. Providing small gifts from the infant to give to the older children is a strategy for facilitation of sibling acceptance of the new infant.
4. Correct. The older child may regress in habits or behaviors (such as toileting and sleep habits) as a method of seeking attention. Parents need to distribute their attention in an equitable manner.

Answer to Question 2

C
