  C) The developmental stage is based on the gestational age.

Question 2

Concerning the intake and output of women during labor, nurses should be aware that:
 
  1. the tradition of restricting the laboring woman to clear liquids and ice chips is being challenged because regional anesthesia is used more often than general.
  2. IV fluids are usually necessary to make sure the laboring woman stays hydrated.
  3. routine use of an enema empties the rectum and is very helpful in producing a clean, clear delivery.
  4. when a nulliparous woman experiences the urge to defecate, it often means birth will follow quickly.

Answer to Question 2

1

3. Incorrect. Routine use of an enema is at best ineffective and may be harmful.
4. Incorrect. This is true for a multiparous woman, but not a first timer.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
