Answer to Question 1

ANS: D, E
Certified nurse midwives are educated in both nursing and midwifery and are certified by the American College of Nurse-Midwives. Midwifery practice is the independent management of women's health care, focusing on pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, care of the newborn, and family planning/gynecological needs. CNMs see healthy women experiencing an uncomplicated pregnancy. These women experience a lower rate of cesarean births and medical interventions. Continuity of prenatal care has a major effect on patient satisfaction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The normal 1-hour result for a gestational diabetes screen is less than 140 mg/dL. This patient has tested positive for gestational diabetes.
