Answer to Question 1

2. Discuss the need to incorporate the behavior with other hospital routines.

Rationale:
The client with obsessive-compulsive behavior will not be able to perform the behavior at will, so the nurse needs to discuss the need to incorporate the behavior with other hospital routines. The nurse should not interrupt the behavior, since this will cause the client to start over from the beginning. The nurse should also not confront the client and ask what purpose it serves, since the client might be embarrassed about the behavior. Telling the client that the behavior is unacceptable and must end also will not help the client with the behavior.

Answer to Question 2

4. Drinking any alcoholic beverages during pregnancy puts you and your baby at risk for injury..

Rationale:
Drinking any alcohol, no matter what type and what quantity, during pregnancy increases the risk for accidents and damage to the infant. Mothers are encouraged to drink no alcohol at all during pregnancy. Wine can put the mother and fetus at risk as much as hard liquor.
