Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: When an adolescent pregnancy is first revealed to the teen's mother, the result is often anger, shame, or disappointment. The degree of negative response will be determined by the age of the teen, the family expectations for the teen, and the presence or absence of other teen pregnancies in the family or support network. In early adolescents, the teen's mother frequently accompanies her daughter to prenatal examinations. The role of the nurse is to facilitate communication between mother and daughter and provide education for both.
