Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A The physician is responsible for informing the woman of her options, explaining the procedure, and advising the patient about potential risk factors.
B Nurses play a part in the informed consent process by clarifying and describing procedures or by acting as the woman's advocate and asking the primary health care provider for further explanations.
C The physician must be present to explain the procedure to the patient. However, the nurse's responsibilities go further than simply asking the physician to see the patient.
D The nurse may witness the signing of the consent form. However, depending on the state's guidelines, the woman's husband or another hospital health care em-ployee may sign as witness.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A Setting stricter limits typically does not decrease rebelliousness or decrease
testing of parental limits.

and structured discipline typically enhances cooperation and decreases
rebelliousness. Structure helps adolescents to feel more secure and assists them
in the decision-making process.
C Increasing peer involvement does not typically increase self-esteem.
D Allowing teenagers to choose the method of discipline is not realistic and
typically does not reduce rebelliousness.
