Answer to Question 1

ANS: self-concept; binding in
The mother-to-be needs to accept the pregnancy and incorporate it into her own reality and self-concept. This process is known as binding in. Acceptance of the child is critical to a successful adjustment to the pregnancy. Acceptance must come from the expectant woman as well as from others.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: unplanned; increases
Intimate partner violence (IPV) may occur for the first time during pregnancy, or the nurse may identify evidence during the physical examination that is suspicious of ongoing physical abuse.

As a women's advocate, nurses have a duty to be observant, to actively listen, and to use communication skills to gain clarification and understanding.
