Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Presumptive signs of pregnancy are those subjectively reported symptoms that could be caused by another condition and include amenorrhea, nausea and vomiting, frequent urination, breast tenderness, perception of fetal movement, skin changes, and fatigue. The nurse should explain this and encourage the woman to have the pregnancy test. Simply telling the woman this is standard procedure does not educate her to make an informed decision.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Intimate partner violence is a difficult subject to discuss and the nurse may fear insulting or psychologically hurting the patient more. A nonthreatening approach is to ask patients directly whether they feel safe going home and whether they have been hurt physically, emotionally, or sexually by a past or present partner.
