Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Poverty and low education levels are associated with adolescent pregnancy. The nurse should support the client by providing information on resources to assist with medical care during the pregnancy and after delivery. The nurse should not instruct the client on all aspects of the pregnancy, including fetal development, labor, and delivery, as this can be overwhelming to the client. The nurse should not ask the client if the parents are aware of the pregnancy nor tell the client that the baby's father is responsible for her medical care; these actions do not address the client's needs.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

CHF and the drugs prescribed for it cause the client to be fatigued. Although this would be considered abnormal in most clients, it is expected in the client with CHF. The client does not need to be hospitalized for fatigue. Fatigue is not an indication that the medication needs adjusting. A lack of exercise would not cause the client to experience fatigue severe enough to prevent the completion of tasks.
