Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale:
1. Risk for infection is not a problem once surgery to close the defect has been performed.
2. Risk for impaired tissue perfusion is not a problem once surgery to close the defect has been performed.
3. A child with spina bifida will continue to have a risk for altered urinary elimination because the bowel and bladder sphincter controls are affected. Urinary retention is a problem, so bladder interventions are initiated early to prevent kidney damage.
4. Risk for altered comfort is not a problem once surgery to close the defect has been performed.

Answer to Question 2

B, D, E
Factors that contribute to the development of abruption include advanced maternal age, advanced parity, and crack cocaine use. Abruption also occurs more frequently in African American women than it does in Caucasian or Hispanic women. The most significant contributing factor, however, is maternal hypertension
