Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
We typically focus on the individual as the central figure in decisions about the self. However, in other cultures female clients may seek assistance from other members of the family and allow male relatives to make decisions about important health-related matters. The husband has indicated by his response that collateral relationships are valued, thus decisions about the client may be interrelated with the influence of illness on the entire family or group. The other responses do not address the value of collateral relationships that the nurse must recognize and address.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The fetus can suffer damage very early in pregnancy, even before a woman knows she is pregnant.
