Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E
STDs (sometimes referred to as sexually transmitted infectionsSTIs) predispose to a number of complications, including ectopic pregnancy, spontaneous abortion, preterm labor, and increased neonatal morbidity. All pregnant women should be screened for STDs. STDs are not associated with frequent multi-fetal pregnancy or gestational hypertension.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
A woman's journey through the pregnancy experience can have long-term effects on her self-perception and self-concept. Therefore, it is especially important that the patient choose a care provider with whom she can openly relate and who shares the same philosophical views on the management of pregnancy. Although in unusual circumstances a patient may give permission for the CNM to provide her information to a patient with a similar situation, routinely sharing personal information with other patients would be a violation of confidentiality principles and laws.
