Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Parents experience less anxiety when they are told about the defect as early as possible and are allowed to touch and hold the baby. The parents should be able to touch and hold the baby as soon as possible. The nurse should not take the baby away; this would raise anxiety levels of the parents. They should be told about the defect and allowed to see the baby.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse should stress that the client is not at fault. Asking what the woman did to make him angry enough to hurt the client is placing the blame on the woman. The nurse cannot promise that the batterer will not learn of the conversation. Often the batterer will find out about the conversation. Explaining the batterer's actions is placing the blame on the woman and finding excuses for the batterer.
