Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
As they near term, women are tired and looking forward to the end of the discomforts of pregnancy. Women at this stage need considerable emotional support from family and friends as they await childbirth. The nurse should explain these psychological changes in the woman and encourage the father to be as supportive as possible. Simply reassuring the father of the normalcy of this situation does not help him or help the woman. More rest might be helpful to some women. Assertive communication skills are not as important as knowing how best to support the woman at this time.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
According to Rubin (1975), there are specific tasks a pregnant woman must accomplish to integrate the maternal role into her identity. In order to accomplish these tasks, the pregnant woman has to incorporate the pregnancy into her total identity. The other tasks are not part of Rubin's theory.
