Answer to Question 1

A, B, F
Educational care would include such interventions as: discussing the bereavement process; providing educational pamphlets and booklists; and addressing issues such as burial arrangements, funeral, or memorial service. Providing the mother with sleeping medications would be part of physical care. However, this practice is not usually helpful because it dulls feelings and delays coping until after the client has left the hospital, when she cannot receive help as easily. Encouraging choices and an increased sense of control, and supporting families creating of memories, including photographs and mementos, would be interventions that reflect psychologic and emotional care.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. Mild contractions are similar to the consistency of the nose.
2. Moderate contractions are similar to the chin.
3. Strong contractions are similar to the forehead.
4. Weak contractions are not identified.
