Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Leopold maneuvers are a four-part clinical assessment method to determine the lie, presentation, and position of the fetus. The first maneuver determines which fetal body part (e.g., head or buttocks) occupies the uterine fundus. The examiner faces the patient's head and places the hands on the abdomen, using the palmar surface of the hands to gently palpate the fundal region of the uterus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, E
To avoid UTIs, women should be encouraged to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, to void every 2 to 3 hours while awake, and to void immediately after intercourse. Drinking apple juice and voiding every 1 to 2 hours are not recommended.
