Answer to Question 1

2,3,5
Rationale 1: Pregnant teenagers are more likely to have low-birth-weight infants.
Rationale 2: Teenagers are more likely to have cephalopelvic disproportion.
Rationale 3: Teenagers are more likely to have a sexually transmitted infection.
Rationale 4: Pregnant teenagers are more likely to have increased blood pressure and preeclampsia.
Rationale 5: Teenagers are more likely to be anemic, so the hemoglobin and hematocrit must be assessed.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:2
Rationale:In all forms of diabetes insipidus,serum sodium can increase to pathologic levels,so hypernatremia can occur and should be treated. The glucose level is not affected,so hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia is not caused by the diabetes insipidus.Hypercalc emia (high calcium) does not occur with this endocrine disorder.
