Answer to Question 1

1
The most commonly used teratogenic agent is alcohol. The ingestion of alcohol while pregnant can cause the teratogenic condition fetal alcohol syndrome. The other choices are positive activities for the client to participate in while pregnant and are not teratogenic to the fetus.

Answer to Question 2

3
The use of client education as a strategy to attain and maintain the potential for health is an example of the shift of care from an illness focus to a health focus. The nurse instructing a client on relaxation techniques to aid with sleep is implementing a health focus of care. The other choices do not support the shift from an illness focus to a health focus.
