Answer to Question 1

2. Betaxolol

Rationale:
Betaxolol is a beta-adrenergic blocker and is contraindicated for treatment of glaucoma in patients with asthma. Bimatoprost, apraclonidine, and acetazolamide are not contraindicated in a client with a history of asthma.

Answer to Question 2

1. Testing for syphilis and rubella

Rationale:
Women who are considering pregnancy should be advised of the importance of testing for syphilis and rubella, both of which can cause hearing impairments in newborns. Zinc is not known to prevent sensory impairments in newborns. Limiting vitamin A and avoiding foods high in folic acid could lead to developmental deficits in the newborn and should not be recommended to the client.
