Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

C
During the taking-in phase of maternal adaptation, in which the mother may be passive and dependent, the nurse should encourage bonding when the infant is in the quiet alert stage. This is done best by simply giving the baby to the mother.
This is expected behavior during the taking-in phase. However, interventions can facilitate infant bonding.
The woman is dependent and passive at this stage and may have difficulty making a decision.
She learns best during the taking-hold phase.
