Answer to Question 1

4
1, 2, 3. Incorrect. These are all normal findings in a 42-week gestation.
4. Correct. Self-care in a postterm pregnancy should include performing daily fetal kick counts three times per day. The mother should feel four fetal movements per hour. If fewer than four movements have been felt by the mother, she should count for 1 more hour. Fewer than four movements in that hour should be evaluated.

Answer to Question 2

1
1. Correct. Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) consist of Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs), Adequate Intakes (AIs), and Upper Limits (ULs). AIs are similar to RDAs except they deal with nutrients about which there are insufficient data to be certain (RDA status). ULs are guidelines for avoiding excesses in nutrients where excess is toxic. Green leafy vegetables, whole grains, and fruit go a long way, but they're not the whole nutritional story.
