Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Fetal exposure to chickenpox or toxoplasmosis can result in mental retardation and microcephaly. Toxoplasmosis also can cause deafness or cognitive impairment. Maternal herpes simplex virus can cause seizures and paralysis in newborns. The outcome of prenatal exposure to rubella (German measles) includes various birth defects, including intellectual disability, developmental disabilities, hearing loss, and visual impairment.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, F
Feedback:
The bleeding time is a screening test used to detect platelet disorders, evaluate for capillary defects, and determine the client's ability to stop bleeding. It may also be referred to as an aspirin tolerance test, a Duke bleeding time, an Ivy bleeding time, or a modified Ivy test. ESR is a nonspecific test that is useful in diagnosing infections, inflammatory processes, and autoimmune conditions. When performed in conjunction with a WBC count, the ESR can indicate infection.
