Ans>> d
Feedback:.
A. Asking about their early relationship does not give the patient information that will
help the present situation.
B. Warning the patient about the negative effects of stress on her unborn baby sounds
judgmental and threatening.
C. A referral for counseling might be needed at a future date.
D. According to group theory, groups evolve through the distinct stages of forming,
storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Storming often occurs when a
group that has recently formed notices differences in members, leading to chaos or
confusion. This couple is in this stage. At this point, the nurse’s best action is to
reassure the patient and help her brainstorm ways of working together
cooperatively, which might include forming rules or procedures that both parties
Agree to follow.
