Answer to Question 1
ANS: C
Women release oxytocin as a response to stress and when they engage in tend and befriend activities. Oxytocin appears to buffer the stress response and produces a calming effect. One strategy nurses can use to employ this physiological phenomenon is to provide continuity of care. Primary nursing, in which each patient is assigned a primary nurse who sees them at each visit, is an excellent choice to capture the benefits of this effect. The other options could all help reduce stress in some women and in some situations, but providing continuity of care could benefit all patients in the clinic.
