Concerning the diagnosis and management of amenorrhea nurses should be aware that:
 
  1. it is probably the result of a hormone deficiency that can be treated with medica-tion.
  2. it may be a product of stress or excessive exercise.
  3. it will likely require the patient to eat less and exercise more.
  4. it often goes away on its own.

Question 2

New parents express concern that because of the mother's emergency cesarean birth under general anesthesia, they did not have the opportunity to hold and bond with their daughter immediately after her birth.
 
  The nurse's response should convey to the parents that: 1. attachment or bonding is a process that occurs over time and does not require early contact.
  2. the time immediately after birth is a critical period for humans.
  3. early contact is essential for optimum parent-infant relationships.
  4. they should just be happy that the infant is healthy.

Answer to Question 2

1
1. Correct. This statement is accurate.
2. Incorrect. The formerly accepted definition of bonding included that the time immediate-ly after birth was a critical time for bonding to occur. Research has since indicated that par-ent-infant attachment occurs over time. A delay will not inhibit the process.
3. Incorrect. Parent-infant attachment involves activity such as touching, holding, and gaz-ing-not exclusively eye contact.
4. Incorrect. This response would be inappropriate for the nurse to state because it is dero-gatory and belittling.
