The nurse assesses her patient and finds her to have mild anxiety concerning the birth process. The patient states that she is not interested in attending classes because her husband does not want to participate.
The nurse's best response would be: 1. Your best choice is to be sedated and let the team do the work.
2. Birthing classes of all types can help eliminate fear and teach coping techniques..
3. You are very nervous. I think these classes would be best for you.
4. Most classes are geared toward couples. Since your husband doesn't want to take them, these classes won't benefit you.
Question 2
The client at 30 weeks' gestation with her first child is upset. She tells the prenatal clinic nurse that she is excited to become a mother, and has been thinking about what kind of parent she will be.
But her mother has told her that she doesn't want to be a grandmother because she doesn't feel old enough, while her husband has said that the pregnancy doesn't feel real to him yet, and he will become excited when the baby is actually here. What is the most likely explanation for what is happening within this family? 1. Her husband will not attach with this child and will not be a good father.
2. Her mother is rejecting the role of grandparent, and will not help out.
3. The client is not progressing through the developmental tasks of pregnancy.
4. The family members are adjusting to the role change at their own paces.
