The nurse is admitting a patient in labor who states that she is a naturopath. The nurse understands that this patient believes:
 
  1. An initial worsening of symptoms after treatment means the correct remedy has been used.
  2. There are five elements that take form in the body.
  3. She must nurture herself and be responsible for her own body.
  4. That her pregnancy is a kapha condition.
  5. She must nurture herself and be responsible for her own body.

Question 2

The nurse has received a phone call from a multigravida who is 21 weeks pregnant and has not felt fetal movement yet. The best action for the nurse to take would be to:
 
  1. Reassure the patient that this is a normal finding in multigravidas.
  2. Suggest that she should feel for movement with her fingertips.
  3. Schedule an appointment for her with her physician for that same day.
  4. Tell her gently that her fetus is probably dead.

Answer to Question 1

5
Rationale 1: An initial worsening of symptoms after treatment is an expected outcome in homeopathy.
Rationale 2: The belief that five elementsether, wind, fire, water, and earthare found in the body is a part of ayurveda.
Rationale 3: This is the correct answer. Naturopaths believe that the body can heal itself and each one is responsible for her own body.
Rationale 4: The tendencies of vata, pitta, and kapha are found in ayurveda.
Rationale 5: This is the correct answer. Naturopaths believe that the body can heal itself and each one is responsible for her own body.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: A lack of fetal movement is unusual at 21 weeks, and should be checked.
Rationale 2: Fetal movement can be actively palpated by the patient's physician or a trained examiner, but is unlikely to be self-detected by the mother at this stage.
Rationale 3: Not feeling fetal movement by 21 weeks could indicate that the patient's due date is not accurate or that the fetus has died in utero. The woman should be seen as soon as possible.
Rationale 4: The fetus might have died after or about the 20th week of pregnancy; however, telling the patient that the fetus might have died in utero without confirmation of this fact is nontherapeutic.
