Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Hypertension can be severe and may be associated with nausea, vomiting, and headache; convulsions and death have occurred.
Nothing indicates that diabetes or a UTI is contraindicated for use of this medication.
Migraine is not a contraindication. However, methylergonovine may cause migraine because of its vasodilative effect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Tocolytic agents are not used to suppress preterm labor; this statement indicates that further teaching is necessary.
Tocolytic agents induce labor and abortion and control postpartum bleeding; no further teaching is needed.

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.
