Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A The physician is responsible for informing the woman of her options, explaining the procedure, and advising the patient about potential risk factors.
B Nurses play a part in the informed consent process by clarifying and describing procedures or by acting as the woman's advocate and asking the primary health care provider for further explanations.
C The physician must be present to explain the procedure to the patient. However, the nurse's responsibilities go further than simply asking the physician to see the patient.
D The nurse may witness the signing of the consent form. However, depending on the state's guidelines, the woman's husband or another hospital health care em-ployee may sign as witness.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A Setting stricter limits typically does not decrease rebelliousness or decrease
testing of parental limits.

rebelliousness. Structure helps adolescents to feel more secure and assists them
in the decision-making process.
C Increasing peer involvement does not typically increase self-esteem.

typically does not reduce rebelliousness.
