Answer to Question 1

C
Pregnancy tasks are more complex for the multipara, and she may need special assistance to integrate the infant into the family structure.
The primipara with a large support system has help available to her.
This mother has a support system to assist with integrating the infant into the family struc-ture.
This mother has the financial resources to assist her with day-to-day care of the home. This leaves her free to concentrate on the newborn's needs.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse must understand that making eye contact means different things in different cul-tures. The nurse should have a basic understanding of normal responses of various cultures within her community.
Modesty is important with some cultures, but the main response with this questions is the cultural beliefs.
Many Asian women may nod and smile during client teaching, but this does not show under-standing; they are responding that they heard you; validation of information is important.
Asians believe eye contact shows disrespect, not submission.
