Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse would be correct in telling the woman that the husband is most likely experiencing couvade. This occurs when the symptoms of pregnancy and childbirth are experienced by the man. There are many different theories that identify possible reasons for this condition; these include sympathy and identification with the pregnant woman, being left out, feeling guilty about putting the woman in this condition, or the stress of living in such an unpredictable situation.
