Answer to Question 1

B
Before providing further instructions, inform family members of the fact that postpartum blues are a normal process to allay anxieties and increase receptiveness to learning.
This blocks communication and may belittle the husband's concerns.
Postpartum blues are a normal process that is short lived; no medical intervention is needed.
Client teaching is important; however, his anxieties need to be allayed before he will be re-ceptive to teaching.

Answer to Question 2

A
A weight gain of 30 lb is one indication that the client has gained a sufficient amount for the nutritional needs of pregnancy.
