Answer to Question 2
A
Feedback
A Correct. Priority should be placed on providing the mother emotional support. Not only is she dealing with grief associated with not having a normal baby and the medical, social, and intellectual implications associated with spina bifida, but she is going through the postpartum period. She may be extremely emotional and vulnerable.
B Incorrect. Initially, priority would not be placed on helping the mother understand spina bifida completely. At the time of diagnosis the initial facts are usually overwhelming. The nurse needs to help the mother sort out her feelings first.
