Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For a complete breech, the buttocks present, the feet and legs are fl exed on the thighs, and the thighs are fl exed on the abdomen.

Question 4 of 5
A nurse has been working with a battered woman who is being discharged and returning home with her husband. The nurse says, 'All this work with her has been useless. She's just going back to him as usual.' Which of the following statements by a nursing colleague would be most helpful to this nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The colleague needs to provide the nurse with information about spouse abuse. Giving information about reasons for staying is useful for decreasing the nurse's frustration. Although expressing empathy is appropriate, it does not help the nurse understand the client's needs and behaviors. Telling the nurse that there will be another chance is not helpful and fails to educate the other nurse about the dynamics of abuse. Although dependence is a problem, women who are abused can overcome this and leave if they have support, not criticism.
