Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
When implementing care, the nurse needs to avoid forcing cultural values onto others. The nurse needs to appreciate that such values are ingrained and usually very difficult to change. The nurse also does not know the cultural value of work and should not assume that the patient's delivery is more important that work in that family's culture. The responses that tell or insist that the husband stay to support the patient do not respect the family's culture.

Answer to Question 2

intraventricular hemorrhage
Rupture of the fragile blood vessels in the germinal matrix, located around the ventricles of
the brain results in germinal matrix bleeding or intraventricular hemorrhage. It is
associated with increased or decreased blood pressure, asphyxia, mechanical ventilation,
and increased or fluctuating cerebral blood flow.
