Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Tanner stages are not based on chronologic age. The age at which an adolescent
enters puberty is variable.
B The puberty stage in girls begins with breast development. Puberty stage in boys
begins with genital enlargement.
C Tanner sexual-maturing ratings are based on the development of stages of
primary and secondary sexual characteristics.
D Primary sexual characteristics are not the basis of Tanner staging.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A This scenario includes no information that would indicate fetal distress or a log-ical reason to be overly concerned about the well-being of the fetus.
B The left lateral position is used to alleviate fetal distress, not maternal stress.
C The nurse has an obligation to provide physical, emotional, and psychosocial care and support to the laboring woman. This woman clearly needs support.
D Each woman's pain during childbirth is unique and is influenced by a variety of physiologic, psychosocial, and environmental factors. A critical issue for the nurse is how support can make a difference in the pain of the woman during la-bor and birth.
