A woman who has had multiple miscarriages is advised to go through genetic testing. The patient asks the nurse the rationale for this recommendation. The nurse will explain that:
 
  1. The woman's pedigree might exhibit a problem carrying a fetus to term.
  2. The majority of miscarriages are caused by genetic defects.
  3. A woman's chromosomal pattern determines her fertility.
  4. There is a genetic marker that detects the presence of an incompetent cervix.

Question 2

A postpartum mother is concerned that her newborn has not had a stool since birth. The newborn is 18 hours old. The nurse's best response is:
 
  1. I will call your pediatrician immediately.
  2. Passage of the first stool within 48 hours is normal.
  3. Your newborn might not have a stool until the third day.
  4. Your newborn must be dehydrated.
