Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
All women during pregnancy should drink six to eight full glasses of fluid a day to obtain adequate fluid for effective kidney function and placental exchange. The patient on bed rest should have a supply of fluid close to the bed such as a water pitcher so this can be done easily. Getting up every hour does not support bed rest. Drinking eight glasses of fluid before the spouse leaves for work does not ensure adequate hydration during the day. The temperature of the liquids is inconsequential. Hot liquids do not necessarily increase thirst.

Answer to Question 2

Congenital cataracts
Absence of the red reflex requires further testing for congenital cataracts.
