Answer to Question 1

D
The longer the fetal membranes have been ruptured, the greater the risk of chorioamnionitis,
which is infection of the fetal membranes. Normally intact membranes protect the fetus from external microorganisms; infection is a risk factor if the membranes are ruptured for 24 hours or more prior to delivery. Hemorrhage does not occur as a result of membranes rupturing 24 hours prior to delivery. Precipitous labor occurs shortly after the membranes rupture. Supine hypotension is related to the mother's position during labor.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale:
1. Meningococcemia follows an infection with Neisseria meningitidis. N. meningitidis is transmitted through airborne droplets, so the child should be placed in a private room in respiratory isolation. A private room with protective isolation (child is essentially kept in a bubble) would not be appropriate.
2. Meningococcemia follows an infection with Neisseria meningitidis. N. meningitidis is transmitted through airborne droplets, so the child should be placed in a private room in respiratory isolation. A private room with protective isolation (child is essentially kept in a bubble) would not be appropriate.
3. Meningococcemia follows an infection with Neisseria meningitidis.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
