Answer to Question 1

D
Explanation: Eclampsia is a life-threatening condition characterized by convulsive seizures and coma. Cystocele is the protrusion of the bladder into the vagina. Pseudocyesis is a false pregnancy. Endometriosis is uterine tissue outside of the uterus.

Answer to Question 2

A
Explanation: Postural drainage uses gravity to encourage drainage of secretions from the bronchi. Intermittent positive pressure breathing is a method for assisting patients in breathing using a mask that is connected to a machine that produces increased positive thoracic pressure. Thoracentesis is a puncture in the chest wall to remove fluids. The Heimlich maneuver is performed when a patient has an obstruction in his or her trachea or pharynx.
