Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
From 29 to 34, the person directs enormous energy toward achievement and mastery of the surrounding world. The years from 35 to 43 are a time of vigorous examination of life goals and relationships. Between the ages of 23 and 28, the person refines self-perception and ability for intimacy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Childbirth education classes (like Lamaze) can prepare pregnant women, their partners, and other support persons to participate in the birthing process. The psychodynamic aspect of sexual activity is as important as the type or frequency of sexual intercourse to young adults; however, this does not relate to the issue the patient reports (lack of knowledge and participation). The stress that many women experience after childbirth has a significant impact on the health of postpartum women. Ideally partners should share all responsibilities; however, this does not relate to the patient's concerns.
