Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C
During the first trimester, the woman may feel ambivalent about the pregnancy. In the second trimester, active dreams and fantasy life are common. Separation from the fetus is a task of the third trimester, as is becoming more introspective. Realignment of roles and tasks typically occurs in the second trimester.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The importance of childbirth education classes cannot be overemphasized by the nurse. The other options may be helpful, but they are not nearly as beneficial as getting the woman involved in childbirth education classes. Simple reassurance that fears are normal does not help the woman care for herself. Asking about exposure to newborns is likely to be of little help. The woman should be assessed for a support system, but this is not as important as attending classes.
