Concerning the woman's reordering of personal relationships during pregnancy, a maternity nurse should be aware that:
 
  1. because of the special motherhood bond, a woman's relationship with her mother is even more important than with the father of the child.
  2. nurses need not get involved in any sexual issues the couple has during pregnan-cy, particularly if they have trouble communicating them to each other.
  3. women usually express two major relationship needs during pregnancy: feeling loved and valued and having the child accepted by the father.
  4. the woman's sexual desire is likely to be highest in the first trimester because of the excitement and because intercourse is physically easier.

Question 2

In identifying a number of infections a pregnant woman might have that affect the health of the fetus, the acronym TORCH is used. In the acronym:
 
  1. T stands for toxic.
  2. O stands for other infections.
  3. C stands for colds.
  4. H stands for hepatitis.
