A) Anxiety
B) Ineffective coping
C) Imbalanced nutrition
D) Risk for impaired parenting
D
Feedback:
The mother has decided to forgo breastfeeding for formula feeding. This decision could place the mother at risk for impaired parenting because of the need to formula feed the infant. The mother's decision does not support the diagnoses of anxiety and ineffective coping. It is unlikely that the infant will have imbalanced nutrition related to formula feeding.
