After giving birth to her third child, a client tearfully says to the nurse, "How much more can I give of
myself?" What principle should the nurse consider in the care of any person with children?
1
It is easier to adjust to the first child than to later ones.
2Feeling anger and resentment toward a child is pathologic.
Correct3
Some parents experience feelings of being overwhelmed by multiple children.
4
Parents usually have inborn feelings of love and acceptance of their children.
A parent's feeling of being overwhelmed by multiple children is a normal response. It is vital to help parents
realize
this as a means of easing feelings of guilt and shame. The first child causes the greatest amount of adjustment in
one's life. Anger and resentment toward one's child are expected feelings. Stating that parents usually have
inborn
feelings of love and acceptance of their children is a false generalization.

Helping the client select appropriate attire and offering help in getting dressed aids the client in decision-making;
new situations may be stressful and may lead to ambivalent feelings. Helping the client dress and explaining when
residents are expected at the activity is not sharing decision-making; the client may not remember this explanation in
the future. Reminding the client to dress more quickly to avoid delaying the other residents may make the client feel
guilty and may increase anxiety. The client may perceive being told that the opportunity to attend the activity has
been missed as punishment.1
"That was the wrong thing to do. Why did you do that?"

"You're going to get in trouble with your probation officer."
