The nurse assesses her patient and finds her to have mild anxiety concerning the birth process. The patient states that she is not interested in attending classes because her husband does not want to participate.
 
  The nurse's best response would be: 1. Your best choice is to be sedated and let the team do the work.
  2. Birthing classes of all types can help eliminate fear and teach coping techniques..
  3. You are very nervous. I think these classes would be best for you.
  4. Most classes are geared toward couples. Since your husband doesn't want to take them, these classes won't benefit you.

Question 2

The client at 30 weeks' gestation with her first child is upset. She tells the prenatal clinic nurse that she is excited to become a mother, and has been thinking about what kind of parent she will be.
 
  But her mother has told her that she doesn't want to be a grandmother because she doesn't feel old enough, while her husband has said that the pregnancy doesn't feel real to him yet, and he will become excited when the baby is actually here. What is the most likely explanation for what is happening within this family? 1. Her husband will not attach with this child and will not be a good father.
  2. Her mother is rejecting the role of grandparent, and will not help out.
  3. The client is not progressing through the developmental tasks of pregnancy.
  4. The family members are adjusting to the role change at their own paces.

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: This is an inappropriate statement, and does not inform the patient of choices available to her.
Rationale 2: All programs in prepared childbirth have an educational component to help eliminate fear and teach coping mechanisms. The classes vary in coverage of subjects related to the maternity cycle, but all teach relaxation techniques and all prepare the participants for what to expect during labor and birth.
Rationale 3: Being nervous is not a reason to take the class. It would be better to encourage the patient to take the class so she will be knowledgeable on the birth experience and because it could reduce any anxiety she might have about the experience.
Rationale 4: Childbirth classes are geared toward teaching about relaxation techniques and preparing participants on what to expect. Single parents and non-couple participants often take the classes.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 4. This is a true statement. With each pregnancy, routines and family dynamics are altered, requiring readjustment and realignment.
