A 26-year-old woman is scheduled for a first-trimester abortion in the morning. A laminaria tent is inserted as part of the vacuum aspiration procedure. The nurse explains to the woman that laminaria is used to:
 
  1. stimulate the uterus to contract.
  2. prevent postabortion infection.
  3. reduce pain by numbing the cervix.
  4. dilate the cervix for easier insertion of the aspirator.

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

4
1, 2, 3. Incorrect. None of these statements is accurate.
4. Correct. The laminaria tent dilates the cervix atraumatically. On removal of the moist, ex-panded laminaria tent, the cervix will have dilated two or three times its original size.

Answer to Question 2

3
1. Incorrect. Breastfeeding is convenient because it does not require cleaning or transporting bottles and other equipment.
2. Incorrect. Breastfeeding saves families money because the cost of formula far exceeds the cost of extra food for the lactating mother.
3. Correct. Actually, less time is lost to work by breastfeeding mothers, in part because in-fants are healthier.
4. Incorrect. Breastfeeding uses a renewable resource; it does not need fossil fuels, adver-tising, shipping, or disposal.
