Answer to Question 1

B
When a woman is mouth breathing, the most helpful nursing intervention would be to offer the woman sips of water or ice chips. This will help to keep her mouth moist. Remember that this practice is based on physician or institution policy.

Answer to Question 2

A
Patent ductus arteriosus is characterized by a systolic murmur and, if symptomatic, includes bounding peripheral pulses and wide pulse pressures. With hypovolemia, the pulse would be weak, not +3.
