Answer to Question 1

D
Vena cava syndrome is also referred to as supine hypotension. It occurs in women close to term due to decreased blood flow to the right atria secondary to uterine pressure against the vena cava when the client is supine. Hypoglycemia and cardiac arrhythmia are caused by a pathological process and positioning. Usually the blood pressure decreases, resulting in supine hypotension.

Answer to Question 2

B
In addition to stuffy nose and breathing difficulties, other manifestations of possible food allergy include hives, gas, and blood in the stools. Taking small amounts at feedings may be due to the infant's slow adaptation to new tastes. Spitting up after a feeding may be an indication of possible food allergy in the very young infant. Constipation is usually related to the infant's intake of iron-based formula.
