Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. Culture influences beliefs about the importance of children.
2. Culture influences attitudes about pregnancy and the right vs. the obligation of women to bear children.
3. Culture influences infant feeding norms and practices.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3
Explanation: 1. Blood pressure should be monitored every 1 to 2 minutes for the first 10 minutes and then every 5 to 15 minutes until the block wears off because hypotension is the most common side effect of epidural anesthesia.
3. Nursing care following an epidural block includes frequent assessment of the bladder to avoid bladder distention. Catheterization may be necessary, because most women are unable to void.
