Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A This is the designation for very low birth rate; ELBW is less than 1000 g.
B At this weight, problems are so numerous that ethical issues regarding when to treat arise.
C This weight is less than low but too high for extremely low, which is less than 1000 g.
D Gestational age is a factor related to weight and the condition of the preterm birth, but it is not part of the birth weight categorization.

Answer to Question 2

B
A pregnant woman should not change the cat's litterbox and should wash her hands after even touching cats. Cytomegalovirus is one of the most common of the TORCH-group infections and can be transmitted to the fetus transplacentally and at birth. It cannot be prevented through vaccination, nor are any treatments for the infection fully effective.
