Answer to Question 1

A, D, E
Feedback:
In addition to stress, starvation, extreme exercise, and emotional problems are all associated with a decrease in reproductivity related to the controls of the hypothalamus. Extreme temperatures and social/cultural expectations have not been found to have a negative impact on the reproductive cycle relative to the hypothalamus.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse would consult with the physician to ensure awareness of the pregnancy and desire to administer this drug. There are no adequate studies about use during pregnancy and lactation, so use should be reserved for situations in which the benefit to the mother outweighs any potential risk to the fetus or neonate. The nurse should question the prescriber regarding this order. It would not be necessary to implement the other options.
