Answer to Question 1
ANS: D
Early in pregnancy, ambivalence is not uncommon because pregnancy is a life-changing event, even if planned and strongly desired. The client needs reassurance and validation of these natural feelings. Although it is true that the patient will grow to love the baby, this statement does not acknowledge her ambivalent feelings. Don't feel bad dismisses the patient's natural feelings and is a nontherapeutic response. Why is nontherapeutic and places the patient on the defensive in her response.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: D
Time orientation is viewed differently by other cultures. Native-Americans, Middle Easterners, Hispanics, and American Eskimos tend to emphasize the moment rather than the future. This causes conflicts in the health care setting, in which tests or appointments are scheduled at particular times. If a woman does not place the same importance on keeping appointments, she may encounter anger and frustration in the health care setting. Asking if she has a way to tell time does not get to the potential root of the problem. Asking if she is deliberately late is inconsiderate and nontherapeutic. Although her action may be an acting-out behavior, there are other considerations that must be considered first.
