Question 1 of 5
An expectant patient in her third trimester reports that she developed a strong tie to her baby from the beginning and now is really in tune to her baby's temperament. The nurse interprets this as the development of which maternal task of pregnancy?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Developing attachment with the baby. In the scenario described, the expectant patient's strong tie and attunement to the baby's temperament indicate the development of an emotional bond or attachment with the baby. This is an essential maternal task during pregnancy as it promotes maternal-infant bonding and prepares the mother for the caregiving role postpartum. A: Learning to give of herself - While important in motherhood, this choice doesn't specifically address the emotional bond being described in the scenario. C: Securing acceptance of the baby by others - This choice focuses on external factors rather than the maternal relationship with the baby. D: Seeking safe passage for herself and her baby - This choice pertains more to physical safety and well-being rather than the emotional connection between the mother and the baby.

Question 3 of 5
A pregnant patient comes into the medical clinic stating that her family and friends are telling her that she is always talking about the pregnancy and nothing else. She is concerned that something is wrong with her. What psychological behavior is she exhibiting?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Uncertainty. The patient is exhibiting psychological behavior characterized by doubt and indecision regarding her pregnancy. This is evident by her concern and the feedback she is receiving from her family and friends. A: Antepartum obsession is not the correct choice as the patient is not displaying an obsessive preoccupation with her pregnancy. B: Ambivalence is not the correct choice as it refers to conflicting feelings or thoughts, which are not explicitly mentioned in the scenario. C: Uncertainty is essentially the same as choice D, which is the correct answer.

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is assessing a patient in her 37th week of pregnancy for the psychological responses commonly experienced as birth nears. Which psychological responses should the nurse expect to evaluate? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale for Answer A (Correct): The patient being excited to see her baby is a common psychological response as birth nears. This anticipation and eagerness are typical emotions experienced by expectant mothers as they approach the end of their pregnancy journey. It reflects positive emotional preparation for the upcoming birth. Summary of Incorrect Choices: B: Not preparing the nursery may indicate lack of readiness or emotional readiness for the baby's arrival, but it does not directly relate to the psychological responses commonly experienced as birth nears. C: Expressing concern about recognizing labor signs is a common worry but does not directly point to the psychological responses commonly experienced as birth nears. D: Being concerned about reaching the birth center in time is more related to logistical or practical considerations rather than the psychological responses typically associated with impending childbirth.
Question 5 of 5
Which findings are presumptive signs of pregnancy? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Amenorrhea is a presumptive sign of pregnancy because it refers to the absence of menstrual periods, which is a common indicator of pregnancy. Quickening, Ballottement, and Goodell's sign are not considered presumptive signs of pregnancy as they are more likely to be classified as probable or positive signs of pregnancy. Quickening is the first fetal movements felt by the mother, Ballottement is the passive bouncing of the fetus during a physical examination, and Goodell's sign refers to softening of the cervix. These signs are more specific and typically appear later in pregnancy compared to amenorrhea.
