While teaching a health-promotion class to a group of parents of children in a Head Start class, the nurse informs the parents that the most common preventable chronic infectious disease in U.S. children is:
 
  1. Hepatitis A.
  2. Dental decay.
  3. Human immunodeficiency virus.
  4. Herpes.

Question 2

In assessing the immediate condition of the newborn after birth, a sample of cord blood may be a useful adjunct to the Apgar score. Cord blood is then tested for pH, carbon dio-xide, oxygen, and base deficit or excess.
 
  Clinical situations that warrant this additional testing include (choose all that apply): a. Low 5 minute Apgar score.
  b. IUGR.
  c. Maternal thyroid disease.
  d. Intrapartum fever.
  e. Multiple gestation.
