Practice Question
A nurse is observing bonding between a client and her newborn. Which of the following actions by the client requires the nurse to intervene?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Viewing the newborn's actions to be uncooperative
Rationale:
🔵 Interpreting a newborn’s behavior as uncooperative indicates a misunderstanding of normal infant behavior and may reflect impaired bonding or unrealistic expectations.
🔵 Newborns do not act with intent; behaviors such as crying or moving are neurologically driven and not purposeful misbehavior.
🔵 This perception may interfere with parent-infant attachment, which is critical for emotional development and caregiving responsiveness.
🔵 The nurse should intervene by offering education and emotional support, helping the parent recognize normal newborn cues and fostering positive interaction.
