To provide competent care to an Asian-American family, the nurse should include the following question during the assessment interview:
 
  1. Do you prefer hot or cold beverages?
  2. Do you want some milk to drink?
  3. Do you want music playing while you are in labor?
  4. Do you have a name selected for the baby?

Question 2

Concerning the condition and reconditioning of the urinary system after childbirth, nurses should be aware that:
 
  1. kidney function returns to normal a few days after birth.
  2. diastasis recti abdominis is a common condition that alters the voiding reflex.
  3. fluid loss through perspiration and increased urinary output account for a weight loss of more than 2 kg during the puerperium.
  4. with adequate emptying of the bladder, bladder tone is usually restored 2 to 3 weeks after childbirth.
