Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Men's reactions to pregnancy and impending childbirth vary widely, from alienation to nurturing to dominance. The nurse should provide guidance by explaining the different paternal responses. A referral to a marriage counselor may or may not be needed. Simply reassuring the woman that this behavior will go away is not accurate or helpful. Stating that men are usually jealous is stereotypical and inaccurate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Accepting the unborn child is critical to adjusting successfully to the pregnancy. For this woman in her second trimester, having immediate family members begin relating to the unborn child is consistent with their place in the family. A sibling talking about being a big sister or big brother to the new baby is an example. In the first trimester friends and family need to accept the pregnancy and unborn child. In the third trimester, the woman must develop unconditional acceptance of the child.
