Answer to Question 1

B, D
Feedback:
Positive behaviors that indicate attachment include identifying common features and making direct eye contact with the newborn. Asking for the newborn to be taken out of the room, referring to the newborn as having a monkey-face and refraining from checking out the newborn's features are negative attachment behaviors.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, E
Feedback:
To help with sore nipples from breastfeeding, the nurse should instruct the mother to apply lanolin to nipples after air exposure, expose the nipples to air so the nipple dries, position the baby differently for each feeding, and massage a few drops of breast milk to the areola. The mother should be discouraged from inserting plastic liners into the nursing bra because these prevent air from circulating around the breast.
