Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Attachment behaviors are necessary for healthy grieving. Absence of crying and not mentioning the baby may be signs of denial. By not seeing the baby, attachment and therefore healthy grieving will not occur.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Whenever possible, the teen should be scheduled to see the same nurses and practitioners for continuity of care. A positive attitude of the health care providers is important in teen pregnancy care. If the hospital or clinic were within walking distance of the girl's home, it would prevent the teen from missing appointments because of transportation problems. If the institution were open days, evenings, and Saturday by special arrangement, this would be helpful for teens who work, go to school, or have other time of day restrictions. Scheduling conflicts are a major barrier to health care.
