When weighing the advantages and disadvantages of home care for perinatal services, nurses should keep in mind that home care:
 
  1. is more dangerous for vulnerable neonates at risk for infection from the nurse.
  2. is more cost effective for the nurses than office visits.
  3. allows the nurse to interact with and include members in teaching.
  4. is made possible by the ready supply of nurses with expertise in maternity care.

Question 2

A preschooler's mother asks you when she should tell him that she is pregnant. Your best answer would be
 
  A) probably at the point she begins to look pregnant.
  B) not until the baby is born, so that she can say whether it is a girl or a boy.
  C) about 1 week before her due date, to reduce anxiety about waiting.
  D) about 1 month before her due date, when she moves the preschooler out of his crib.
