A woman has been diagnosed with a high risk pregnancy. She and her husband come into the office in a very anxious state. She seems to be coping by withdrawing from the discussion, showing declining interest.
 
  The nurse can best help the couple by:
  a. Telling her that the physician will isolate the problem with more tests.
  b. Encouraging her and urging her to continue with childbirth classes.
  c. Becoming assertive and laying out the decisions the couple needs to make.
  d. Downplaying her risks by citing success rate studies.

ANS: B
The nurse can best help the woman and her husband regain a sense of control in their lives by providing support and encouragement (including active involvement in preparations and classes). The nurse can try to present opportunities for the couple to make as many choices as possible in prenatal care.
