Answer to Question 1

B
Positive reinforcement of the mother's attempt to provide care to the newborn will promote a healthy self-concept.
The mother needs to learn how to solve problems on her own. Each person may use different techniques that work for that person.
This would be discouraging to a new mother. She needs encouragement.
This is blocking communication and further teaching.

Answer to Question 2

C
