Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The chin-to-chest exercise is excellent for the second day to tighten abdominal muscles. The exercise can be done 3 or 4 times a day, and the patient should feel the abdominal muscles pull and tighten if it is being done correctly. Sit-ups, pelvic rocking, and Kegel exercises are not identified to assist with tightening the muscles of the abdominal region.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The father's statement reflects transition to mastery because he is making a conscious decision to take control and be at the center of the newborn's life regardless of his preparedness. The expectations stage involves preconceptions about how life will be with a newborn. Reality occurs when fathers realize their expectations are not realistic. Taking-in is a phase of maternal adaptation.
