Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse should use the family interactional systems approach of dyads, triads, and other groupings as the client. In doing so, the nurse focuses on the family interactions (in this case, the dyad of the mother and her newborn child). Examining how the mother can better support and assist the child to meet the child's needs will be critical, if the child is to thrive.
