Answer to Question 2

A, C, E

Feedback
Correct The woman should be advised to consume a diet high in iron and protein. For many women, iron supplementation also is necessary. Acknowledge that the patient has experienced a loss, albeit early. She can be taught to expect mood swings and possibly depression. Referral to a support group, clergy, or professional counseling may be necessary. Discharge teaching should emphasize the need for rest.
Incorrect Nothing should be placed in the vagina for 2 weeks after the procedure. This includes tampons and vaginal intercourse. The purpose of this recommendation is to prevent infection. Should infection occur, antibiotics may be prescribed. The patient should expect a scant, dark discharge for 1 to 2 weeks. If heavy, profuse, or bright bleeding occurs, she should be instructed to contact her provider.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
