The nurse can help a father in his transition to parenthood by:
1. pointing out that the infant turned at the sound of his voice.
2. encouraging him to go home to get some sleep.
3. telling him to tape the infant's diaper a different way.
4. suggesting that he let the infant sleep in the bassinet.

1. Correct. Infants respond to the sound of voices. Because attachment involves a reciproc-al interchange, observing the interaction between parent and infant is very important.
2. Incorrect. Separation of the parent and infant does not encourage parent-infant attach-ment.
3. Incorrect. Educating the parent on infant care techniques is important, but the manner in which a diaper is taped is not relevant and does not enhance parent-infant interactions.
4. Incorrect. Parent-infant attachment involves touching, holding, and cuddling. It is appro-priate for a father to want to hold the infant as he or she sleeps.
