Mariah is a new mother. She receives a lot of advice from various sources. What would you recommend she does when caring for her
baby? She should blindly follow her mother’s advice.
She should consult her friend who has several children.
She should rely on her instincts.
She should refer to expert advice on parenting websites.
She should call up her family doctor each time she has a problem.
I would recommend: C, and only during a serious problem or doubts E.
Explanation:
As the statements says, Mariah has already received a lot of advice from various sources, which may include her mother and friend who has several children. Therefore, I would say that the next step is to follow her instincts as she already has a fair amount of valuable information.
However, it is extremely important to call the family doctor in cases where she thinks the baby is not well or when she has doubts as there is no one more reliable than a professional, especially in comparison with parenting websites that may or may not be reliable.
C. Drug abuse is when you become dependent on that drug and "need it to survive." People abusing drugs will do whatever necessary to get more drugs, even dangerous and illegal things. Even prescription drugs (drugs taken for medical purposes) can be abused if you take more than prescribed. I hope this helps :)
