The childbirth educator nurse states that the primary rationale for providing general information as well as breathing and relaxation exercises in childbirth education is:

1. So that mothers who are doing breathing exercises during labor will refrain from yelling.
2. Because breathing and relaxation exercises are less exhausting than crying and moaning.
3. Knowledge learned at childbirth education classes helps to break the feartensionpain cycle.
4. Childbirth education classes help to promote positive maternalnewborn bonding.

Question 2

The pregnant client at 14 weeks' gestation is in the clinic for a regular prenatal visit. Her mother also is present.

The grandmother-to-be states that she is quite uncertain about how she can be a good grandmother to this baby because she works full-time. Her own grandmother was retired, and was always available when needed by a grandchild. What is the nurse's best response to this concern? 1. Don't worry. You'll be a wonderful grandmother. It will all work out fine.
2. What are your thoughts on what your role as grandmother will include?
3. As long as there is another grandmother available, you don't have to worry.
4. Grandmothers are supposed to be available. You should retire from your job.

Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: Childbirth educators are not concerned with possible yelling.
Rationale 2: Breathing and relaxation exercises and crying and moaning are all exhausting for the mother in labor.
Rationale 3: The hope of the educators presenting the classes is that knowledge learned at childbirth education classes helps to break the feartensionpain cycle.
Rationale 4: Even though bonding is discussed, it is not the primary goal of childbirth education classes.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 2. Although relationships with parents can be very complex, the expectant grandparents often become increasingly supportive of the expectant couple, even if conflicts previously existed. But it can be difficult for even sensitive grandparents to know how deeply to become involved in the childrearing process. In some areas, classes for grandparents provide information about changes in birthing and parenting practices.
