Answer to Question 1

1; 2; 4
Rationale:
1. The initial treatment is ZVD orally every day. It is recommended, to keep the level consistent, that dosages be taken consistently
2. During the labor and delivery process, the doses will be given intravenously.
3. The mother will continue with her oral dosage of ZVD after delivery just as prior to delivery.
4.Within 812 hours after delivery, the infant is begun on ZVD and kept on the medication a minimum of 6 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

C
The AFP screens for neural tube defects and trisomy 21, so a normal result would indicate the absence of these anomalies.
