Answer to Question 1

B
Because of the intensity of this infection and the neonate's immature immune system, sepsis occurs and can be fatal. Anemia, urinary retention, and jaundice are not characteristic of this type of infection.

Answer to Question 2

B
Stroke is the third leading cause of death for women. Stroke kills more than twice as many women annually as breast cancer. Stroke and heart disease cause almost twice as many deaths in women than all types of cancer combined. Blacks have a higher incidence of hypertension and stroke than Caucasians (American Heart Association, 2008). Males have a higher incidence of completed suicides than women.
