Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The diagnosis parental role conflict would address the parents' work responsibilities and schedules and the relationship of work to the child's extended hospitalization. There is no evidence to suggest that there is impaired parenting, health-seeking behaviors, or readiness for enhanced family coping.

C
Feedback
A This may understimulate the infant during those long periods and overtire the
infant during the procedures.
B This may cause overstimulation.
C Parents should be taught these signs of overstimulation so they will learn to
adapt their care to the needs of their infant.
D Placing objects on top of the incubator or using it as a writing surface increases
the noise inside.
