The nurse notices that a new mother who is beginning postpartum day 2 handles the newborn tentatively and does not kiss the child when holding him. What should the nurse suspect as the probable reason for this behavior?
A) Disappointment with the child's sex
B) Difficulty accepting the role changes
C) Reacting normally to accepting a new child
D) Cultural customs do not include kissing children
C
Feedback:
More often, a woman enters into a relationship with her newborn tentatively and with qualms and conflicts that must be addressed before the relationship can be meaningful. This is because parental love is only partly instinctive. The tentative behavior does not indicate disappointment with the child's sex, difficulty accepting role changes, or cultural customs that do not include kissing children.
