Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5
Pregnant females who have not had or been immunized against rubella must avoid contraction of the virus during the first trimester of pregnancy. The use of Accutane during pregnancy can increase the risk of having a child with congenital heart defects. Females with diabetes mellitus have an increased risk of having a child with a heart defect. Careful regulation of the diabetes before and in early pregnancy can reduce the risk. Some anti-seizure medications can increase the risk of having a child with a heart defect. It is not appropriate to drink alcohol during pregnancy because it increases the risk of having a child with birth defects.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
African Americans can benefit from blood pressure screening activities. Hypertension is often present without any symptoms so education about symptoms will not be particularly beneficial. It is appropriate to educate parents of school-aged children about the importance of screening for and treating strep in their children. This can help prevent rheumatic fever and the valvular problems that are associated with this infection. Smokers have double the mortality rate from myocardial infarction than nonsmokers. The impact of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity is particularly noted in African Americans. Exercise can reduce the risks for cardiovascular disease by promoting healthy weight, maintaining healthy blood pressure, and reducing the risk for development of diabetes.
