A baby is born at 32 weeks' gestation and is admitted to the NICU. After 4 difficult weeks, the child's condition has improved and survival seems guaranteed. The mother comes every day to feed the infant.
 
  Between feedings, the mother sits alone in the waiting room. The mother tells the nurse that she feels her life is in a holding pattern, not yet being a parent but no longer anticipating the excitement of the planned delivery. The nurse recognizes that the mother's reaction could be defined as: 1. Shock and disbelief.
  2. Anticipatory waiting.
  3. Readjustment.
  4. Mourning.
