Concerning the psychologic complications and risks of forced cesarean births, nurses should be aware that:
 
  1. a family's worries about extra cost are unfounded; vaginal birth and unscheduled cesarean births cost about the same.
  2. most women relate to their newborns as quickly and are as likely to breastfeed as those who went through vaginal birth.
  3. the psychologic outcomes are the same as with women who go through scheduled cesarean births.
  4. some couples (and individuals) have sexual worries: the women about sexual at-tractiveness, the men about hurting their partners.

Question 2

A woman is 3 months pregnant. At her prenatal visit, she tells the nurse that she doesn't know what is happening; one minute she is happy that she is pregnant, and the next minute she cries for no reason.
 
  Which of the following responses by the nurse is most appropriate? 1. Don't worry about it; you'll feel better in a month or so..
  2. Have you talked to your husband about how you feel?
  3. Perhaps you really don't want to be pregnant..
  4. Hormone changes during pregnancy commonly result in mood swings..

Answer to Question 1

4
1. Incorrect. Those fears have a foundation. Cesarean birth and aftercare are more expen-sive.
2. Incorrect. Often women who delivered by cesarean experience a delay in their ability to interact with their newborns, and they are less likely to breastfeed.
3. Incorrect. The psychologic outcomes of unplanned cesarean birth are usually more pro-nounced and negative than those associated with scheduled procedures.
4. Correct. The sexual worries may be exaggerated, but are still present.

Answer to Question 2

4
1. Incorrect. This statement dismisses the client's concerns and is not the most appropriate response.
2. Incorrect. Although women should be encouraged to share their feelings, this is not the most appropriate response and does not provide a rationale to the client regarding the psy-chosocial dynamics of her pregnancy.
3. Incorrect. This response is completely inappropriate and deleterious to the psychologic well-being of the woman. Hormonal and metabolic adaptation offer cause mood swings in pregnancy. The woman's response is normal. She should be reassured about her feelings.
4. Correct. This is an accurate statement and the most appropriate response by the nurse.
