Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Women with certain complications, including a history of stillbirth, a high-risk pregnancy (preeclampsia-eclampsia, placenta previa, abruptio placentae, multiple gestations, prolonged or premature rupture of the membranes), induction with oxytocin, or a problem with FHT, should have FHT monitored continuously.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Ultrasound is the most accurate way to assess the fetal position. Leopold maneuvers are not always accurate and may be clinically difficult, which also makes assessing fetal heart tones more difficult. A vaginal examination can be used, but if the membranes are still intact or if the cervix is only minimally dilated, the examiner may not be able to determine the fetus's position.

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.

Pink eye is a term that refers to conjunctivitis, which is inflammation of the thin, clear membrane (conjunctiva) over the white part of the eye (sclera). It may be triggered by a virus, bacteria, or foreign body in the eye. Antibiotic eye drops alleviate bacterial conjunctivitis, and antihistamine allergy pills or eye drops help control allergic conjunctivitis symptoms.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
