Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Mercury poisoning in a fetus can result in learning delays in walking or talking to more severe problems such as cerebral palsy, seizures, and mental retardation.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: Asking the client about their history of alcohol consumption allows the client to answer the question without feeling defensive. In addition, questioning about this type of questioning allows the nurse to follow up with further screening if necessary. Asking direct questions or approaching the client in a judgmental manner may sound punitive to the client and they may not provide the nurse with an accurate response.
