ANS: B
An expectant mother must learn to give to her unborn child in the process of successfully negotiating the tasks of pregnancy. It is normal for a first-time mother to grieve for the impending loss of her lifestyle. The nurse should reassure the woman. A referral to a support group may be helpful for some women. The woman probably does not need a counselor. Telling the woman to think of the unborn child is disrespectful and dismissive.
