A)One developmental task for the mother is learning to give of oneself on behalf of the child. The statement by this client that she wants to get back to her normal activities indicates that she is still self-focused. The nurse should assess the client's preparedness for putting aside her own wants and needs temporarily for the good of her child. The nurse should not focus on the client's social life and friends because these are not developmental tasks associated with the pregnancy.
