Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse should ask the client who was physically abused to meet the ombudsperson assigned to the facility. The ombudsperson is responsible for seeing that the client's rights are not violated. Referring the client to the nursing director, the case manager, or social services will not protect the client by law from abuse or neglect.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should have the mother hold the newborn and initiate breastfeeding because this immediately helps the uterus to contract and prevents maternal hemorrhage. The nurse should never attempt to delay delivery because this can cause great damage to the woman and fetus. Cutting the cord is inadvisable until the services of the birth attendant are available. The mother will be examined for retained placental tissue, lacerations, and other complications later when she receives medical assistance.
