Answer to Question 1

2
1. Incorrect. School-age children take a more clinical interest in their mother's pregnancy and may want to know, How did the baby get in there? and How will it get out?
2. Correct. By age 3 or 4, children like to be told the story of their own beginning and accept it being compared with the present pregnancy. They like to listen to the fetal heartbeat and feel the baby move. Sometimes they worry about how the baby is being fed and what it wears.
3, 4. Incorrect. This does not tend to be the focus of children's inquisition regarding the impend-ing birth of a sibling.

Answer to Question 2

3
1. Incorrect. Nursing assessments will differ somewhat from those performed in the acute care setting but this is not the concern that needs to be addressed.
2. Incorrect. Restricted activity and medication may prevent preterm labor but not in all women. Additionally, the plan of care is individualized to meet the needs of each woman.
3. Correct. Prolonged best rest may cause adverse effects such as weight loss, loss of appe-tite, muscle wasting, weakness, bone demineralization, decreased cardiac output, risk for thrombophlebitis, alteration in bowel functions, sleep disturbance, and prolonged postpartum recovery.
4. Incorrect. Many women will receive home health nurse visits but, again, care is individu-alized for each woman.
