Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A simple I'm sorry and a touch of the hand are kind and caring interactions. The novice nurse should not be instructed to avoid saying anything because the woman will want her loss (and baby) recognized. The nurse should not just encourage the woman to think of her other children, as this is dismissive of her loss. Taking over care of the patient will not allow the novice nurse to grow as a professional.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
There are two types of cesarean delivery: classic (vertical incision) and the lower segment transverse incision. Classic-style incisions are reserved for some cases of shoulder dystocia, placental previa, and when birth must take place emergently. The nurse needs to determine if the woman had a classic cesarean delivery when her first child was delivered emergently. If so, the woman cannot attempt a vaginal delivery. Women with a low transverse incision can safely attempt a trial of labor.
