Answer to Question 1

1,2,4
Rationale 1: A bulging perineum indicates progression to the second stage of labor.
Rationale 2: Bloody show increases as a woman enters the second stage of labor.
Rationale 3: The amniotic sac can rupture at any time.
Rationale 4: When the cervix is fully dilated and the perineum is bulging, there is a strong urge to push.
Rationale 5: This symptom has no connection with going into the second stage of labor.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Acculturation (assimilation) is the correct assessment because the patient adapted to a new cultural norm in terms of food choices.
Rationale 2: Ethnocentrism refers to a social identity that is associated with shared behaviors and patterns.
Rationale 3: Enculturation occurs when culture is learned and passed on from generation to generation, and often happens when a group is isolated.
Rationale 4: Stereotyping is the assumption that all members of a group have the same characteristics.
