Cleft lip or palate is a commonly occurring congenital midline fissure, or opening, in the lip or palate resulting from failure of the primary palate to fuse.
 
  Multiple genetic and, to a lesser extent, environmental factors may lead to the development of a cleft lip or palate. Such fac-tors include which of the following? (Choose all that apply.) 1. Alcohol consumption
  2. Female gender
  3. Use of some antiepileptics
  4. Maternal cigarette smoking
  5. Antibiotic use in pregnancy

Question 2

A woman in the active phase of the first stage of labor is using a shallow pattern of breathing, which is about twice the normal adult breathing rate.
 
  She starts to complain about feeling light headed and dizzy and states that her fingers are tingling. The nurse should: 1. notify the woman's physician.
  2. tell the woman to slow the pace of her breathing.
  3. administer oxygen via a mask or nasal cannula.
  4. help her breathe into a paper bag.

1, 3, 4. Correct. Factors that are associated with the potential development of cleft lip or palate are maternal infections, radiation exposure, corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, male gender, Native American or Asian descent, and smoking during pregnancy.
2. Incorrect. Cleft lip is more common in male infants.
5. Incorrect. Antibiotic use in pregnancy is not associated with the development of cleft lip or palate.

Answer to Question 2

4
1, 2, 3. Incorrect. This woman is experiencing the side effects of hyperventilation, which include the symptoms of light headedness, dizziness, tingling of the fingers, and circumoral numbness. Having the woman breathe into a paper bag held tightly around the mouth and nose may elimi-nate respiratory alkalosis. This enables her to rebreathe carbon dioxide and replace the bicarbo-nate ion.
4. Correct. Having the woman breathe into a paper bag held tightly around the mouth and nose may eliminate respiratory alkalosis.
