Answer to Question 1

A
Problems with infertility must be approached realistically. Nurses should not make judgments or give false reassurance. Providing accurate information to the couple is the best response.
The tests are not always definitive, so the nurse should not give false reassurance.
The nurse should not make statements indicating that problems will be resolved, as this gives a false impression.
The nurse should not offer her view or opinion but instead should state the facts.

Answer to Question 2

C
Pain in abruptio placentae occurs in response to increased pressure behind the placenta and within the uterus. Placenta previa manifests with painless vaginal bleeding.
