Answer to Question 1

A, C, F
Feedback:
A birth plan is a written document in which the expectant mother expresses her desires for labor and birth, including partners, pain measures, and fetal monitoring. Advance directives and living wills and the outcome of labor and delivery would be documented in the medical record. Choice of birth announcements would not usually be stated in the plan.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should tell the client to perform daily Kegel exercises to treat urge incontinence. Kegel exercises are designed to increase sphincter tone and to help the client prevent leaking on the way to the bathroom. Decreasing fluid intake concentrates the urine further and increases bladder spasms. The client should not be asked to void small amounts frequently because frequency decreases the functional capacity of the bladder, thereby weakening the detrusor muscle. Cred maneuvers are used to manage overflow incontinence, not urge incontinence.
