Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Vertical transmission may occur across the placenta in utero or during the birth event itself. Cytomegalovirus and HIV infections are the most common congenital infections. HIV signs and symptoms are not immediately apparent in the infant. Prophylactic immunization is not noted as a proven intervention for preventing vertical transmission.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Activation of the RAAS results in an increase in vascular tone (elevation of BP) and renal retention of sodium and water. These changes contribute to the physiologic changes that occur with the stress response.
