Answer to Question 1

B
Contractions can elevate the blood pressure, so the nurse should measure the blood pressure between contractions. Applying a blood pressure monitor would not be done unless the mother is high-risk for hypo- or hypertension. When the blood pressure is measured, the woman should be in the lateral position, but can be on either side.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. The child should be placed on calcium supplements to reduce the risk of osteopenia.
2. The child can't return to school for 612 months after an HSCT. In-hospital or in-home schooling is required.
3. Handwashing is essential to prevent the spread of infection.
4. The child and the family should be encouraged to get yearly influenza vaccinations.
