Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: The nurse should avoid a don't worry answer to ensure therapeutic communication, but it is appropriate to instruct the patient to talk to the doctor about medications.
Rationale 2: The nurse should advise the patient to talk to her healthcare provider. Those medications with clear evidence of teratogenicity are classified in pregnancy category X, and should be avoided when conception is being attempted and during the first trimester.
Rationale 3: Vitamin C can cause rebound scurvy, but is not teratogenic.
Rationale 4: Not all medications are teratogenic.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 5
Explanation: 1. When an amniotic fluid embolism is suspected, intravenous access is obtained as quickly as possible.
2. Shortness of breath, cyanosis, and hypoxia are symptoms of an amniotic fluid embolus, which necessitates immediate cesarean delivery.
5. The chances of a code are high, so the crash cart needs to be available.
