Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Vitamin A may increase serum calcium.
Rationale 2: There is no reason to assess the hemoglobin level.
Rationale 3: There is no reason to assess the thyroid profile.
Rationale 4: There is no reason to assess the serum potassium level.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Fetal heart sounds, although always important, are not the critical assessment in this situation.
Rationale 2: A decrease in deep tendon reflexes indicates that the client has a low magnesium level. This puts the client at risk for seizures related to preeclampsia.
Rationale 3: Peripheral edema is not a critical assessment in this situation.
Rationale 4: Breath sounds, although always important, are not the critical assessment in this situation.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
