Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The development of a close emotional attraction to the newborn by parents during the first 30 to 60 minutes after birth describes bonding. Reciprocity is the process by which the infant's capabilities and behavioral characteristics elicit a parental response. Engrossment refers to the intense interest during early contact with a newborn. Attachment refers to the process of developing strong ties of affection between an infant and significant other.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Evidence that an inadequate home environment assessment was performed as baby is sleeping with the mother. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends newborns have their own crib as a step toward preventing sudden infant death syndrome. The baby having a changing area, the kitchen has a refrigerator, and the windows are covered with screens indicate that the home environment is adequate to support the needs of a newborn.
