Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A An epidural provides anesthesia for the uterus, perineum, and legs.
B A pudendal block anesthetizes the lower vagina and perineum to provide
anesthesia for an episiotomy and use of low forceps if needed.
C A local provides anesthesia for the perineum at the site of the episiotomy.
D A spinal block provides anesthesia for the uterus, perineum, and down the legs.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. The scenario reveals parental anxiety due to marital problems. The most appropriate nursing diagnosis is alteration in growth patterns related to parental anxiety.
2. There are no data that indicate familial short stature.
3. Since height and weight are at the 5th percentile, there is no indication of increased nutritional intake.
4. This infant is not at risk for constitutional growth delay.
