Answer to Question 1

Answer:3
Rationale: While all of the diagnoses might have been appropriate at some point, the current focus is the mother's anxiety about caring for the child at home. The priority of the nurse is relieving this anxiety.

Rationale 1: Patients at risk for developing an ectopic pregnancy are those with a history of a previous ectopic pregnancy and of pelvic inflammatory disease.
Rationale 2: Spotting during pregnancy can indicate ectopic pregnancy, although about one third of women with normal pregnancies also experience spotting.
Rationale 3: Patients at risk for developing an ectopic pregnancy are those with a history of a previous ectopic pregnancy and of pelvic inflammatory disease.
Rationale 4: A previous history of twins is not a risk factor for ectopic pregnancy. Beta hCG testing is not indicated for this patient.
