The nurse is admitting a patient to the birthing unit. What question should the nurse ask to gain a better understanding of the patient's psychosocial status?
 
  1. How did you decide to have your baby at this hospital?
  2. Who will be your labor support person?
  3. Have you chosen names for your baby yet?
  4. What feeding method will you use for your baby?

Question 2

A nurse is teaching childbirth education classes to a group of pregnant teens. Which strategy would promote learning by the young women?
 
  1. Avoiding the discussion of uncomfortable procedures like vaginal exams and blood tests
  2. Focusing the discussion on baby care rather than labor and delivery
  3. Providing more extensive teaching and a forum for verbalization of fears and concerns
  4. Having the classes at a location other than high school to reduce their embarrassment

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: The reason the patient is delivering at this facility is not an indication of psychosocial status.
Rationale 2: Labor support is important for the laboring patient. In some cultures the father of the baby is the support person. In other cultures men are not involved in the birth, and older women who have given birth themselves provide labor support.
Rationale 3: Naming the infant is influenced by culture, and is not an indicator of psychosocial status.
Rationale 4: The chosen feeding method is not an indicator of psychosocial status.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: It is important to include all information in childbirth classes, regardless of the age group.
Rationale 2: Both baby care and labor and delivery are important in any childbirth class.
Rationale 3: Adolescents often need more support and more extensive teaching during pregnancy. Prenatal education classes specifically designed for teens can provide a forum for verbalization of fears and concerns.
Rationale 4: Conducting the classes at a school enables more teens to attend.
