A client at 30 weeks' gestation is tearful at the time of her follow-up visit. She tells the prenatal clinic nurse that she is excited to finally become a mother and that she has been thinking about what kind of parent she will be. However, she is upset because her mother has told her that she does not want to be a grandmother because she does not feel old enough. Meanwhile, the client's husband has said that the pregnancy does not feel real to him yet and that he will become excited when the baby is actually here. What is the most likely explanation for what is happening within this family?
1. Family members are adjusting to the role change at their own pace.
2. Her mother is rejecting the role of grandparent and will not help out.
3. Her husband will not attach with this child and will not be a good father.
4. The client is not progressing through the developmental tasks of pregnancy.
Question 2
A 28-year-old client who is pregnant with her first child reports increased dental caries (cavities) since becoming pregnant. How should the nurse explain the likely cause for this change?
1. Each woman experiences changes that affect her teeth while she's pregnant.
2. When a woman is pregnant, her teeth lose calcium and she is more susceptible to getting cavities.
3. During pregnancy, tooth enamel softens and the woman is more susceptible to getting cavities.
4. It may be necessary to pay extra attention to dental care while you're pregnant, especially if you're vomiting frequently.
