A 16-year-old client at 34 weeks' gestation tells the nurse that she cannot wait for all of this to be over so she can resume her normal life. With which of the following questions should the nurse respond to this client?
 
  1. Do you miss school and spending time with your friends?
   2. Are your friends excited about the baby coming and planning a shower for you?
   3. Have you been able to get enough rest while keeping up with your studies?
   4. Have you done anything to prepare for the baby coming home after delivery?

Question 2

The nurse is planning care for a client and wants to include interventions that will best benefit the client. The nurse uses informatics to:
 
  1. Find out what was done on the previous admission.
   2. Search the Internet for information about the disease.
   3. Search for research to support evidence-based practice.
   4. Look for standardized nursing language.

Answer to Question 1

4. Have you done anything to prepare for the baby coming home after delivery?

Rationale:
Developmental tasks of the third trimester include preparing for the baby with clothing and supplies. The nurse needs to assess what the client has done to prepare for the baby coming home after delivery. The nurse should not focus on the client missing school and friends since these are not developmental tasks associated with the pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

3. Search for research to support evidence-based practice.

Rationale:
To provide the best care, the nurse can access nursing research that would support evidence-based practice. The previous admission would not provide evidence-based results. Searching the Internet for information regarding the disease will not help the nurse learn what the latest nursing research is. Standardized nursing language is useful when forming plans but will not help the nurse provide evidence-based care.
