Answer to Question 1

4
1. Incorrect. Altered fetal cerebral blood flow results in early decelerations in the FHR.
2. Incorrect. Fetal hypoxemia would be evident by tachycardia initially then bradycardia. There may be a persistent decrease or loss of FHR variability.
3. Incorrect. Umbilical cord compression results in variable decelerations of the FHR.
4. Correct. A temporary decrease in variability can occur when the fetus is in a sleep state. These sleep states do not usually last longer than 30 minutes.

Answer to Question 2

4
1. Incorrect. Delayed pushing is encouraged for several reasons.
2. Incorrect. The rates of episiotomies are declining.
3. Incorrect. Midwives perform fewer episiotomies than doctors do.
4. Correct. Breastfeeding is encouraged for newborns immediately after birth.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
