Answer to Question 1

B
The presence of fetal heart tones is a positive sign. Enlargement of the uterus and abdomen and a positive pregnancy test are probable signs. Quickening is a presumptive sign.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Why the client is delivering at this facility is not an indication of psychosocial status.
2. Labor support is important for the laboring client. In some cultures, the father of the baby will be the support person, whereas in other cultures, men are not involved in the birth, and older women who have given birth themselves provide labor support.
3. Naming the infant is influenced by culture, and is not an indicator of psychosocial status.
4. Feeding method chosen is not an indicator of psychosocial status.
