Answer to Question 1

A
Appropriate handwashing timing and technique are the most important factors in preventing nosocomial infections. Preventing hypothermia will prevent cold stress, but not nosocomial infection. Preventing hypoglycemia will prevent metabolic stress, but not nosocomial infection. Keeping the infant in an isolette will prevent cold stress, but not nosocomial infection.

Answer to Question 2

Braxton Hicks
Irregular painless contractions occur throughout pregnancy, although many women do not
notice them until the third trimester. Women who are unsure, who have 5 or 6 regular
contractions within one hour, or who demonstrate other signs of labor should contact their
provider.
