Answer to Question 1

B, D, F
Feedback:
The signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue include reduced ability to be sympathetic to client needs, nightmares and/or flashbacks, exhaustion, irritability, depression and hopelessness, difficulty making decisions, and problems concentrating. Some caregivers increase their use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, and some may even consider suicide.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Swimming in a pool is good exercise for a pregnant woman. However, swimming in a lake can be harmful because of the danger of infection, especially in the latter months. Douching can increase the risk of vaginal infections. Increased salivation or ptyalism, seen in some women during pregnancy, does not cause tooth decay and necessitate more frequent brushing. Lanolin ointments may damage the areola and nipple and have not been shown to be effective in preventing sore and cracked nipples.
