Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: This is found in oligohydramnios.
Rationale 2: Newborn congenital anomalies occur with hydramnios.
Rationale 3: Newborn postmaturity and renal malformations occur with oligohydramnios.
Rationale 4: Prolonged labor occurs with cephalopelvic disproportion.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale:Serotonin syndrome,the serious and life-threatening side effect of SSRIs,can develop when the drug is taken with diet pills,St.-John's-wort,other antidepressants,alcohol,or LSD.In this case the diet pills should be discontinued in order to avoid serotonin syndrome. The Paxil should not be discontinued,and waiting to discuss the use of diet pills with a pharmacist would not be an appropriate option.
