Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
All live virus vaccines are contraindicated during pregnancy and should not be administered unless the risk of the disease outweighs the risk to the pregnancy because live virus vaccines can cross the placenta and infect the fetus. The influenza vaccine is recommended if it is flu season when visiting crowded locations.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the patient to drink liquids to prevent dehydration, limit strenuous exercise to 20 minutes, warm up before beginning an exercise session, and avoid exercises that can jar the body. The patient should be instructed to eat a protein and complex carbohydrate snack before exercise to maintain the serum glucose level.
