Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Administration of RhoGAM is based on the results of the indirect Coombs test on the client. A negative results confirms that the mother has not been sensitized by the positive Rh factor of twin A and that RhoGAM is indicated. A direct Coombs test is a diagnostic test used to determine maternal antibodies in fetal blood and to guide treatment of the newborn when Rh and ABO incompatibilities occur. Transcutaneous bilirubin is a noninvasive measure to determine the level of bilirubin in a newborn.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Generalized edema often occurs with preeclampsia. Edema may first manifest as a rapid weight gain. Normal weight gain in the second and third trimesters is 1 pound per week; slight edema of feet and ankles, increased urine output, and blood pressure of 128/80 mm Hg are normal findings in pregnancy.
