Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale:
1. A child with pulmonary artery hypertension should have exercise tailored to avoid dyspnea. Golf would be less exertional than cross-country running.
2. A child with pulmonary artery hypertension should have exercise tailored to avoid dyspnea. Golf would be less exertional than soccer.
3. A child with pulmonary artery hypertension should have exercise tailored to avoid dyspnea. Golf would be less exertional than soccer, basketball, or cross-country running.
4. A child with pulmonary artery hypertension should have exercise tailored to avoid dyspnea. Golf would be less exertional than basketball.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse would explain that the physician is referring to effacement, or the thinning, of the cervical tissues. If the comment had been the cervix being opened, he would have been referring to cervical dilation, but it is not expressed in percentages. A comment about fetal head would have been referring to fetal position or station, which are also not expressed in percentages.
