Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E
The nurse should discuss the patient's cultural beliefs and incorporate as many as possible into the plan of care. Modesty is important in almost all cultures, and the nurse should take measures to ensure the patient's modesty. Absence of a stressful environment is important for a positive outcome for both mother and baby, and the nurse should strive to alleviate stress and maintain a harmonious environment. Many cultures will foster relationships, and visits from extended family members may be important. The patient may not participate in all aspects of the health care system due to cultural issues.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
The amniocentesis can reveal the sex, maturity, health, and some genetic defects.
