Answer to Question 1

C
Methyldopa (Aldomet) is the only antihypertensive drug that should be taken by pregnant wom-en or women who want to become pregnant, because it does not cause fetal harm.
Pregnant woman should not take direct renin inhibitors Aliskiren (Tekturna), ACE inhibitors Lisinopril (Prinivil), or angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) Valsartan (Diovan), because they cause fetal harm.

C
The most pertinent education the nurse should provide is that surgery reduces symptoms and can enhance fertility.
Surgery is not likely to improve the patient's chances of conception.
Medications are not the only option to enhance fertility.
Medication therapy is not less costly than surgery.
