Answer to Question 2

1. Incorrect. Doing is different from comprehension. The goal of teaching about self-care is for the patient to understand the factors associated with her care. Generally, an understanding of self-care practices increases the chances of patients practicing healthy behaviors.
2. Incorrect. Smoking is only one behavior associated with self-care in pregnancy. Addi-tionally, the goal is for the patient to seek self-care health behaviors, not discount them.
3. Correct. This statement indicates the patient's willing participation and understanding of healthy self-care behaviors.
4. Incorrect. The patient's question indicates that she does not understand what measures she can take to increase her level of self-care.
