Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Infants of mothers with depression are more likely to have delays in psychosocial and cognitive development and may be fussier than infants whose mothers are not depressed. Giving the woman factual information about a consequence of untreated depression may help her make a decision about treatment. The other statements are emotionally manipulative and are likely to induce guilt.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Warfarin therapy is monitored with the PT and INR, and in many places, the INR has replaced the PT. A therapeutic INR is 2-3.5. This patient's INR is therapeutic. Aspirin can potentiate the risk of bleeding when taken with warfarin. Green leafy vegetables contain vitamin K, which can counteract warfarin. The patient should eat a consistent amount of foods containing vitamin K and not binge occasionally. The aPTT is used to monitor heparin therapy.
