Question 2
Kristina has just learned that she is pregnant and wants to begin preparing the nursery. She and her husband bought a historic home, and one of the bedrooms will become the nursery. Kristina plans to remove old paint in the nursery, repaint to create a nature scene, and refurnish the room. Should she carry out her plan? Why or why not?
a. Yes, positive achievements help the mother relax, and the mother's healthy emotional state promotes normal prenatal development.
b. No, the activity involved in removing paint and painting may result in muscle strain and harm the embryo/fetus.
c. Yes, the exercise and activity involved in the project prepare the mother for a healthy delivery and promote development of the embryo/fetus.
d. No, the old paint is likely to have lead content that will harm the embryo/fetus.
