Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. By the age of 50, 70 of Caucasian women and 80 of African American women have fibroids.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Although the parents of adolescents are often involved with child care and childrearing, this action is only appropriate if the patient wishes to have her mother present for teaching and discussions.
Rationale 2: Involvement of the father is important, but having the mother learn more about her new baby is a higher priority.
Rationale 3: This action helps the patient learn about her baby as an individual and facilitates maternalinfant attachment. This is the highest priority.
Rationale 4: Young teens are statistically more likely to have another child during their adolescence, but establishing rapport and facilitating understanding of and attachment to the newborn is a higher priority.
