The pregnant client at 14 weeks' gestation is in the clinic for a regular prenatal visit. Her mother also is present
The grandmother-to-be states that she is quite uncertain about how she can be a good grandmother to this baby, because she works full-time, and her own grandmother was retired, and was always available when needed by a grandchild. The best response to this concern would be: 1. "Don't worry. You'll be a wonderful grandmother. It will all work out fine."
2. "Grandmothers are supposed to be available. You should retire from your job."
3. "As long as there is another grandmother available, you don't have to worry."
4. "What are your thoughts on what your role as grandmother will include?"

4. As society has changed to encourage a more active lifestyle in the aging population, the role of grandparents has also changed. Grandparenting can take many forms. Some grandparents are young and employed full-time, while others are retired, and have more free time. Encouraging open communication between grandparents-to-be and the parents-to-be can avoid miscommunication in expectations. Grandparenting classes are one way that these roles can be explored.
