The nurse is to begin the postpartum teaching of a mother who has given birth to her first child. What aspect of teaching is most important?
1. Describe the likely reaction of siblings to the new baby.
2. Discuss adaptation to grandparenthood by her parents.
3. Determine if father–infant attachment is taking place.
4. Assist the mother in identifying behavior cues of the baby.
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: This is not appropriate because the baby has no siblings.
Rationale 2: Adaptation to grandparenthood is a task for her parents and not a high priority for teaching to the new mother.
Rationale 3: Although father–infant attachment is important, the mother is the main patient, and teaching her directly is a higher priority.
Rationale 4: Helping the mother to identify her baby's behavior cues facilitates the acquaintance phase of maternal–infant attachment.
