Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Glucose monitoring, heparin therapy, and total parenteral nutrition are categorized as specialized care that may be provided by the community health nurse. Family education and provision of referral are categorized as therapeutic care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
Early prenatal care, fetal surgery, use of prenatal glucocorticoids, technology, and NICU care have played a role in increasing the positive outcome of pregnancy, and the goals of Healthy People 2020 may well be met. Increase in surgical births and multiple gestations do not work toward meeting the goals of Healthy People 2020.
