At a second-trimester prenatal visit, a married couple are discussing their new roles as parents with the nurse. The father comments that he really wants to be a good father to their new baby
The nurse should explain that in developing the fatherhood role, the most important thing is to: 1. Participate actively in as many aspects of childbearing and childrearing as possible.
2. Identify a father he admires and try to develop a fathering role similar to that.
3. Decide with his partner on a fathering role that is mutually agreeable to both of them.
4. Begin by examining the basic pattern of fathering that his father used with him.
3
Rationale:
1. Participation in childrearing and especially childbearing is culturally determined, and might not be viewed as desirable.
2. Fathering may be imitated from either one's own father or another father that is admired, but discussion and consensus on the tasks the father will take on will prevent miscommunication and promote family cohesiveness.
3. A mutually developed fathering role will reduce anxiety and miscommunication.
4. Fathering may be imitated from either one's own father or another father that is admired, but discussion and consensus on the tasks the father will take on will prevent miscommunication and promote family cohesiveness.
