Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The weight gain recommendations for the pregnant adolescent are based on the teen's prepreg-nancy weight. Teenagers who begin the pregnancy at a normal weight should be counseled to begin weight gain in the first trimester and to average gains of 1 pound per week for the second and third trimesters.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional problem among both pregnant and non-pregnant adolescent females. The nurse should educate about iron-rich foods and foods that promote iron absorption, such as those containing vitamin C. Proper hydration and weight gain do not help prevent iron deficiency anemia. Following up with a dietician is not necessary as the nurse discusses prevention of anemia.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
