Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Support therapy is not enough for major PPD. Pharmacologic interventions are needed in most instances.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
TB can be transmitted to a fetus in the womb. Newborns of infected mothers are skin tested for TB after birth and treated if the skin test is positive. Mothers who have TB are not allowed to have exposure to their newborn until they have been cleared according to the health department standards.
