Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Because preterm infants form the largest category of those needing expensive intensive care, early pregnancy intervention is essential for decreasing infant mortality. The women in shelters have the same difficulties in obtaining health care as other poor people, particularly lack of transportation and inconvenient clinic hours. Language and cultural differences are not infant mortality issues but must be addressed to improve overall health care. Medicaid provides health care for poor pregnant women, but the process may take weeks to take effect. The eighth month is too late to apply and receive benefits for this pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Documentation on the chart should include all factual information regarding the client's condition that would be recorded in any situation. The nurse completes an incident report when something occurs that might result in a legal action against the clinic or hospital. Incident reports are not part of the patient's chart. The report is a warning to the legal department to be prepared for a potential legal action. Incident reports are not mentioned in the nurse's notes.
