Answer to Question 1

B
A small pillow or wedge under one hip displaces the heavy uterus from the inferior vena cava and promotes normal placental blood flow while allowing adequate visualization of the urethra.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Correct: A, C, D. All of these conditions are related to immaturity and warrant close obser-vation. After discharge the infant is at risk for rehospitalization related to these problems. AWHONN has recently launched the Near-Term Infant Initiative to study the problem and ways to ensure that these infants receive adequate care. The nurse should ensure that this in-fant is feeding adequately before discharge and that parents are taught the signs and symp-toms of these complications.
Incorrect: B, E. These infants are at risk for respiratory distress and hypoglycemia.
