Answer to Question 1
ANS: B
The nurse must ensure he/she has a solid understanding of important child-rearing concepts in the woman's culture or risk that any teaching done will be irrelevant and perhaps in opposition to important beliefs. Since the nurse is unfamiliar with this culture, the first step is to assess. Written material is helpful if the patient is able to read and comprehend it. It would be important to determine if the woman is the decision maker, but this is not as much of a priority as learning about the culture. Referring the woman to an educational group may or may not be helpful.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: A
The most important item needed for a child to master this stage of development is a consistent caregiver who provides food and attention. If the caregiver is inconsistent or unable to meet these needs, the child will develop mistrust of those around him. Ensuring that someone feeds the child is not providing consistency. Allowing exploration within limits (setting boundaries) is important to master initiative vs. shame and doubt.
