Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, E
Emergency warning signs the nurse teaches the patient include reduction in fetal movement; signs of preterm labor (low, dull backache; pelvic pressure; uterine contractions; menstrual cramps); vaginal fluid loss or vaginal bleeding; maternal fever over 100.5 F; persistent headache associated with blurred vision or flashing lights in front of the eyes; continuous vomiting with weight loss, dehydration, weakness, dizziness, or fainting; or feeling that something is just not right. A headache not associated with visual disturbances and some limited nausea and vomiting without signs of dehydration are not emergencies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D
Women who are positive for hepatitis B should have screening for hepatitis C. Their household contacts and intimate contacts should also be screened for hepatitis B. There is no correlation between hepatitis B and either cytomegalovirus or parvovirus.
