Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Spina bifida is a congenital neural tube defect in which the vertebral spaces fail to close, allowing a herniation (bulging) of the spinal contents into a sac. Women who take folic acid (folate) during pregnancy greatly reduce the risk for neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, in their babies.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The postoperative management of a client with a replanted limb includes anticoagulation therapy (the opposite of thrombin therapy), a caffeine-free diet to prevent vasospasm, wound care, administration of antibiotics, and continuous inspection of the replanted part. The nurse should perform frequent neurovascular checks of the replanted limb and monitor for complications such as bleeding, arterial or venous compromise, infection, or decreased ROM.
