Answer to Question 1

1,2,4
Rationale: Fear and anxiety increase the time it takes to deliver, increase the pain experienced with each contraction, and decrease the effectiveness of contraction. Fear and anxiety do not increase the risk of pre-eclampsia or increase fetal heart rate.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The P wave is an indication of atrial contraction, and absence of this wave would mean that either the atria are not contracting or they are fibrillating, and the fibrillation wave is so small as to not be seen on that particular lead. The QRS reflects ventricular contraction.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Most strokes are caused when blood clots move to a blood vessel in the brain and block blood flow to that area. Thrombolytic therapy can be used to dissolve the clot quickly. If given within 3 hours of the first stroke symptoms, this therapy can help limit stroke damage and disability.
