Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse's responsibility is to protect the client from harm, so determining if the practice is harmful is the appropriate intervention. The nurse's responsibility is to determine if the practice is harmful, not to offer blanket endorsement of all complementary/alternative therapies.

Answer to Question 2

A
Maternal or paternal age is one of the most common causes of chromosomal anomalies. Maternal or paternal occupation is not associated with chromosomal anomalies. While environmental exposure to teratogens is associated with congenital anomalies including fetal demise, this is not a common factor associated with chromosomal anomalies. Lack of prenatal care can jeopardize both the fetus and the mother, but it is not associated with chromosomal anomalies.
