Answer to Question 1

2,3,5
Rationale 1: Nausea, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhea can be side effects of iron supplements.
Rationale 2: Constipation can be a problem when taking iron, so a stool softener might be needed.
Rationale 3: Starting with a low dose and increasing it gradually often alleviates the side effects of nausea and vomiting.
Rationale 4: Bloody stools need to be reported immediately. Iron will cause the stools to turn black.
Rationale 5: Iron absorption is reduced by 40 to 50 if taken with meals.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: Input is not a term associated with the use of forceps.
Rationale 2: Low forceps are applied when the leading edge of the fetal head is at +2 station.
Rationale 3: Midforceps are applied when the fetal head is engaged.
Rationale 4: Outlet forceps are applied when the fetal skull has reached the perineum.
