Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Asking them what their first week of parenting has been like is open-ended and makes no assumption about how the parents are doing. It provides an opportunity to discuss any aspect of parenting they wish.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
During the postpartum period, the woman may be overwhelmed with information and remember little of it. Therefore, verbal information should be reinforced and supplemented with written material. Option D demonstrates acceptance of the patient and an offer to repeat necessary information.
