Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
To help reduce sibling rivalry, the mother should set aside afternoon time for the preschool-age child while the baby naps. Sleeping when the baby sleep, asking if the preschool-age child likes the baby, and limiting gifts to the preschool-age child until behavior changes will promote sibling rivalry.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Conversely, overstimulation may have negative effects by reducing oxygenation and causing stress. A newborn reacts to stress by flaying the hands or bringing an arm up to cover the face. When overstimulated, such as by noise, lights, excessive handling, alarms, and procedures, and stressed, heart and respiratory rates decrease and periods of apnea or bradycardia may occur.
