Answer to Question 1
ANS: C
Fathers have developmental tasks to accomplish during a woman's pregnancy. During the second trimester, a father may seem disconnected and binding in may take longer than it did for the mother. This may be due to the remoteness of the fetus and father. Actions that can make the baby seem more real to the father will be helpful. A warm invitation to come into the exam room and listen to fetal heart tones is the best option. Asking the father to turn off his cell phone is likely to be perceived as disrespectful and will not be helpful. Assessing for relationship problems and referring the couple for counseling may be indicated in some situations, but is not the best choice here.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: D
In the second trimester, a woman begins to feel the baby's movement, and this makes her truly aware of the fetus as a separate being. Being concerned with one's own well-being rather than that of the fetus is common in the first trimester. Being drawn to other pregnant women is a general principle and is not tied to a specific trimester. Giving up favorite activities, or accepting other trade-offs for the baby, generally occurs in the first trimester.
