Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The raging hormonesof pregnancy can keep the woman slightly out of touch with her usual methods of coping. Although she may normally interact and communicate in quite mature ways, during a pregnancy, she may become depressed, anxious, withdrawn, or angry as she accomplishes her own developmental tasks. Siblings often react to a pregnancy by regression in behavior and attitude because they fear that they will be replaced or unloved. In addition to anticipatory guidance concerning the alterations in family structure and functioning, prenatal preparation for first-time parents involves learning the basics of infant care and preparing for infant feeding, particularly for women who plan to breastfeed.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should give the client a sedative, as ordered, and place the client in a prone position, with a sandbag under the abdomen. The sandbag helps bring the kidney into a more accessible position. A local anesthetic is injected into the skin, and the biopsy needle is inserted. After the procedure, the nurse should apply pressure to the site to minimize bleeding.
