A health care worker is concerned about a new mother being overwhelmed by caring for her infant. The health care worker should ______________.

  1. immediately contact child protective services
  2. provide the mother with literature about child care
  3. consult a therapist to help the mother work out her fears
  4. refer the mother to parenting classes

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Prevention of child abuse is centered on teaching the parents how to care for their child and cope with the demands of infant care.
Parenting classes can help build self-confidence, self-esteem, and coping skills. Parents benefit by understanding the developmental needs of their children, while learning how to manage their home environment more effectively. The classes also increase the parents’ social contacts and teach about community resources.



Ashley and her boyfriend Chris, both 19-years-old, are transported to the Emergency Department after being involved in a motorcycle accident. Chris is badly hurt, but Ashley has no apparent injuries, though she appears confused and has trouble focusing on what is going on around her. She complains of dizziness and nausea.
Her pulse is rapid, and she is hyperventilating.

The nurse should assess Ashley’s level of anxiety as ______________.

  1. mild
  2. moderate
  3. severe

Explanation:

Somatizing means one experiences an emotional conflict as a physical symptom. Ashley manifests several physical symptoms associated with severe anxiety.
Acting out refers to behaviors such as anger, crying, laughter, and physical or verbal abuse.
Withdrawal is a reaction in which psychic energy is withdrawn from the environment and focused on the self in response to anxiety.
