Answer to Question 1

2; 3; 4
Rationale:
1. Polyhydramnios is not associated with postterm pregnancy.
2. In a postterm pregnancy, an infant can be large or small for gestational age depending on the health of the placenta. With a healthy placenta, the fetus will thrive and become larger than average, but if the placenta begins to deteriorate due to decreased perfusion, the infant might begin to lose muscle mass and subcutaneous fat because of decreased nutrition.
3. In a postterm pregnancy, an infant might be large or small for gestational age depending on the health of the placenta. With a healthy placenta, the fetus will thrive and become larger than average, but if the placenta begins to deteriorate due to decreased perfusion, the infant might begin to lose muscle mass and subcutaneous fat because of decreased nutrition.
4. A large-for-gestational age infant might require forceps to assist with the birth.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
If the students responded coma, convulsions, and shock, further clarification is needed. These are indications of the toxic effect of excess iron. The toxic effects of excess calcium would include kidney stones, deposits in joints and soft tissue; and possible inhibition of iron and zinc absorption.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
