The nurse is caring for a client recently emigrated from a southeast Asian country. The mother has not held the child since it was born. Her husband and her sister have changed the diapers and fed the infant
The most likely explanation for this behavior is that the client: 1. Is not attaching to her infant appropriately.
2. Is not going to be a good mother; the baby is at risk.
3. Has no mother present to role-model behaviors.
4. Is exhibiting normal behavior for her culture.

Rationale:
1. Because this client is from an Asian country, this is expected behavior.
2. The mother–infant couplet is not at risk. Because this client is from an Asian country, this is expected behavior.
3. Even though her mother is not present, her sister is providing role-modeling of behaviors. But because this client is from an Asian country, this is expected behavior.
4. In many cultures, especially those from developing countries with traditionally high infant mortality rates, the mother is expected to rest while the female relatives and the spouse provide child care for the first several weeks to months.
