Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The major consequences of smoking tobacco during pregnancy are low-birth-weight infants, prematurity, and increased perinatal loss. Cigarettes normally will not cause genetic changes or extensive central nervous system damage. Addiction is not a normal concern with the neonate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The nurse should recognize the woman's grief and its significance. Asking her about plans for another baby is denying the loss of the other infant. Pointing out the health of another baby is belittling her feelings. Stating that the nurse has a friend who lost a twin is denying the loss of the infant and her grief and belittling her feelings.
