Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
By assisting the client with nonpharmacologic methods of pain distraction, the nurse is focusing on the client's needs while still preparing for vaginal birth. The client presents in an emergent situation with birth being imminent. Thus, there is not enough time to administer an epidural. Telling the client that she will not need any pain medication because the birth will be over soon does not address the client's concerns of apprehension and therefore is not therapeutic. Because this is an emergency birth situation, the nurse should be attending to the client. If needed, another nurse and/or supervisor can contact the physician.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A deficiency of vitamin A results in an inadequate inflammatory response. Deficiencies of vitamins B1 and C result in decreased collagen formation. A deficiency of zinc leads to impaired epithelialization.
