Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Fetal heart rate monitoring can be taught to the patient including how to record the findings. The patient that has a log with the date, time, and number of fetal heart beats counted indicates that teaching has been effective. Fetal heart monitoring should be conducted in the reclining position and the device should not be on the kitchen table. The patient who is unable to locate the device is not performing the assessment as instructed. The patient who has two rhythm strips to share with the nurse may or may not be performing the assessment as instructed.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A The peak action for Regular (short-acting) insulin is 2 to 3 hours after
subcutaneous administration.
B The duration of Regular (short-acting) insulin is only 3 to 6 hours. Peak action
occurs 2 to 3 hours after the insulin is administered.
C Subcutaneously administered Regular (short-acting) insulin has an onset of
action of 30 to 60 minutes after injection. The effectiveness of subcutaneously
administered, short-acting insulin cannot be assessed immediately after
administration.
D Thirty minutes corresponds to the onset of action for Regular (short-acting)
insulin.
