ANS: B
Recent research by Nowak and Stevens (2010) demonstrates that watchful vigilance is a common and important behavior in couples at risk for adverse perinatal outcomes. The nurse should share this information with the husband. Telling him that the behavior is common and will go away does not really give him information about this issue. The woman does not need counseling unless there are other, more alarming, behaviors occurring. Telling the husband to go fishing or bowling is dismissive.
