Answer to Question 1

1; 2; 3
Rationale:
1. Elevated maternal temperature is a potential side effect of epidural anesthesia.
2. Urinary retention is a potential side effect of epidural anesthesia.
3. Nausea is a potential side effect of epidural anesthesia.
4. Long-term back pain should not be the result of an epidural.

Answer to Question 2

B
Dental erosion and tooth loss are characteristic of bulimia nervosa due to the corrosive nature of gastric acid coming in contact with the tooth enamel. Although inadequate calcium can weaken bones and teeth, dental erosion is not characteristic. Lack of fluoridated water encourages the development of dental caries. Inadequate dietary protein would not impact on tooth enamel.
