Answer to Question 1

1,3,4
Rationale 1: The diagonal conjugate is a part of the anteroposterior diameter measurement.
Rationale 2: The transverse diameter is another pelvic measurement.
Rationale 3: The conjugata vera is a part of the anteroposterior diameter measurement.
Rationale 4: The obstetric conjugate is a part of the anteroposterior diameter measurement.
Rationale 5: The oblique diameter is another separate pelvic measurement.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Paternity testing is a lower priority than the physiologic well-being of the patient and fetus.
Rationale 2: A patient with a previously undiagnosed pregnancy is unlikely to have given any thought to childbearing preferences.
Rationale 3: Preeclampsia is more common among adolescents than in young adults, and is potentially life-threatening to both mother and fetus. This assessment is the highest priority.
Rationale 4: It would be inappropriate to discuss adoption or parenting during labor, especially with an adolescent who did not know she was pregnant prior to the onset of labor. The nurse should wait until after the birth to have this discussion.
