The nurse is assessing a primiparous client who indicates that her religion is Judaism. Why is this information is pertinent for the nurse to assess?
 
  1. Religious and cultural background can impact what a client eats during pregnancy.
  2. It provides a baseline from which to ask questions about the client's religious and cultural background.
  3. Knowing the client's beliefs and behaviors regarding pregnancy is not important.
  4. Clients sometimes encounter problems in their pregnancies based on what religion they practice.

Question 2

The nurse is teaching a class to the community on mind-based therapies.

  2. Qigong
  3. Biofeedback
  4. Homeopathy
