A new mother is found holding the baby at arm's length, avoiding eye contact, and requesting the baby be kept in the nursery throughout the day.
 
  When the nurse explores the mother's feelings for the newborn, the mother states, I'm so disappointed that it's a boy. I really wanted a girl. I already have two boys at home, and the last thing I needed was another one. The priority action for the nurse is to: A) provide the mother with the name of a good nanny service. B) notify the authorities that the newborn probably will be the victim of child abuse. C) ask the mother how old her other boys are. D) tell the nurse supervisor, who will make a referral to a family counselor.

Question 2

The nurse teaches the breastfeeding mother that milk production can be increased during lactation by:
 
  A) waiting longer between feedings, at least 4-6 hours. B) making sure the breast is completely empty at each feeding. C) feeding more often for shorter periods of time, alternating breasts. D) taking one estrogen tablet daily to boost levels and increase milk production.
