Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, E
Expectant fathers can experience fears and ambivalence about the woman's pregnancy. Some common concerns include fear for the woman's safety and health, financial concerns, and worry that he is not ready for this responsibility. The nurse should reassure the father that these feelings are normal and can further the discussion by assessing for these common emotions. There is no indication that either partner suffers from IPV, it is premature to call the social worker before a problem has been identified, and giving the father written information on childbirth may not address his concerns. In addition, the nurse should assess literacy prior to giving written information and should be prepared to discuss it.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
Specific nutritional deficiencies associated with pica include deficiencies in iron, calcium zinc, thiamine, niacin, vitamin C, and vitamin D.
