The community nurse is working with a patient from southeast Asia who has delivered her first child. Her mother has come to live with the family for several months.
 
  The nurse understands that the main role of the grandmother while visiting is to: 1. Help the new mother by allowing her to focus on resting and caring for the baby.
  2. Teach her son-in-law the right way to be a father, since this is his first child.
  3. Make sure that her daughter does not become abusive towards the infant.
  4. Pass on the cultural values and beliefs to the newborn grandchild.

Question 2

The client who was raped is extremely upset when a pregnancy test confirms that she is pregnant, and requests information regarding pregnancy termination. Which statement is best for the nurse to include?
 
  1. Abortion is morally wrong, and should not be undertaken.
  2. Hypertension is a risk with any abortion.
  3. Surgical abortion in the first trimester is technically easier and safer than abortion in the second trimester.
  4. The most accurate method to determine gestational age are the results of a pregnancy test.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: It is common among childbearing Asian families in the United States to have the wife's mother live with the new family for several months. The grandmother shares her wisdom and experience and allows the mother time to rest and focus on the baby.
Rationale 2: The new father might be taught some skills either directly or indirectly through observation, but this is not the most important role of the grandmother.
Rationale 3: The new grandmother does not assume that her daughter will be abusive toward the infant.
Rationale 4: An infant is too young to be taught values and beliefs.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 3. Second-trimester abortion (greater than 13 weeks' gestation up to 24 weeks or as per state law) may be done medically or surgically.
