Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: This is an inappropriate statement for the woman who is at 10 weeks' gestation.
Rationale 2: The nurse should ask the patient to describe what she felt, as this is too early to feel fetal movement.
Rationale 3: This statement is correct, but inappropriate to dismiss the patient's report so quickly.
Rationale 4: This is an inappropriate statement, since fetal movement should not yet be occurring.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. Naturopathic physicians teach their clients about clinical nutrition.
2. The use of botanical medicine is a part of naturopathy.
3. Lifestyle modification is a part of naturopathy.
