Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A To ensure the correct dosage, the medication should be measured with a syringe.
B The medication should not be mixed with formula or food. It is difficult to judge
whether the child received the proper dose if the medication is placed in food or
formula.
C To prevent toxicity, the parent should not repeat the dose without contacting the
child's physician.
D For maximum effectiveness, the medication should be given at the same time
every day.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A Frequent episodes of maternal hypoglycemia may occur during the first trimester
(not before conception) as a result of hormone changes and the effects on insulin
production and usage.
B Preconception counseling is particularly important because strict metabolic
control before conception and in the early weeks of gestation is instrumental in
decreasing the risks of congenital anomalies.
C Hydramnios occurs about 10 times more often in diabetic pregnancies than in
nondiabetic pregnancies. Typically, it is seen in the third trimester of pregnancy.
D Hyperemesis gravidarum may exacerbate hypoglycemic events as the decreased
food intake by the mother and glucose transfer to the fetus contribute to
hypoglycemia.
