Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse must be sensitive to the father's needs and include him whenever possible.
It is important to note the bonding process of the mother and the father, but that does not satisfy the expressed needs of the father.
He should be encouraged by pointing out the correct procedures he does. By criticizing he will be discouraged.
This is not a nursing role. Nurses need to be sensitive to clients' needs.

Answer to Question 2

C
A vitamin C source may increase the absorption of iron.
The calcium and phosphorus in milk decrease iron absorption.
Tannin in the tea reduces the absorption of iron.
Decreased intake of caffeine is recommended during pregnancy.
