Including the father in teaching sessions would allow him to learn and ask any questions he may have about caring for his newborn. This would be a positive and helpful way for the nurse to support the father's interest in learning. Option A, continuing to observe without actively involving the father, may not provide him with the guidance he needs. Option B, telling him when he does something wrong, may be discouraging and could damage his confidence. Option C, showing no concern, may also discourage the father from seeking guidance and support from healthcare professionals.
