Answer to Question 1

A
Medical-surgical management centers on reducing cardiac workload, relieving pain, improving tissue perfusion, and preventing complications such as dysrhythmias, cardiogenic shock, or acute left ventricular failure. PTCA, balloon compression, stents, or coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) may be surgical options. Oxygen, morphine, nitrates, sedatives, thrombolytic therapy, and stool softeners are also prescribed.

Answer to Question 2

C
Maternal estriol level indicates fetoplacental function. A gradual increase indicates that the fetal adrenal glands and placenta are functioning normally.
