Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse should provide the woman with all the necessary information to make an informed decision, but should not make the decision for her.
The nurse should provide information about contraception, not tell her which one to choose.
The nurse should educate the woman about different types of contraception, not make the choice for her.
The nurse can educate the woman about contraception; she does not have to ask the doctor.

Answer to Question 2

B
The drug does slow down the frequency and intensity of uterine contractions, but is not used for that purpose in this scenario. This anticonvulsant drug acts by blocking neuromuscular transmission and depresses the central nervous system to control seizure activity. Decreased peripheral blood pressure is a therapeutic response (side effect) of the anticonvulsant, magnesium sulfate. Diuresis is a therapeutic response to magnesium sulfate.
