Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Voiding prior to the assessment helps ensure comfort; clean gloves prevent exposure to body fluids.
Rationale 2: It is appropriate to ask about a body part when assessing that part.
Rationale 3: The patient should be asked whether she wants visitors to remain in the room or leave the room prior to beginning the assessment.
Rationale 4: Informing the patient of the results and of the normalcy of the results helps reassure her.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: Expectant management of placenta previa, when the patient is at less than 37 weeks' gestation, includes no vaginal exams.
