Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Although the major focus of pregnancy is the mother and baby, the partner also travels through stages of adjustment to fatherhood. Cultural values influence the role of the father, so the nurse should not assume that a father is not interested if he takes a less active role during the pregnancy and birth process.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Use of ibuprofen during the third trimester can cause early closure of the ductus arteriosus. All women of childbearing age should be counseled about the risk of ingesting any drug during pregnancy and lactation.
