A pregnant client relates a story of how her boyfriend is feeling her aches and pains associated with her pregnancy. She is concerned that her boyfriend is making fun of her concerns. How would you respond to this client statement?
 
  a. Tell her not to worry because it is natural for her boyfriend to make her feel better by identifying with her pregnancy.
  b. Refer the client to a psychologist for counseling to deal with this problem because it is clearly upsetting her.
  c. Explain that her boyfriend may be experiencing couvade syndrome and that this is a normal finding seen with male partners.
  d. Ask the client specifically to define her concerns related to her relationship with her boyfriend and suggest methods to stop this type of behavior by her significant other.

ANS: C
Provide factual information that will help reduce stress and modify acceptance. Telling her not to worry does not address the possibility that her boyfriend may be experiencing couvade syndrome. The client is expressing concern but does not have all the facts related to couvade syndrome and requires education, rather than referral. Couvade syndrome is not an abnormal condition and should be treated with acceptance and understanding.
