Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation:
1. Hypotonia in infancy and muscle instability are seen in ataxic CP.
2. Hypertonia and persistent primitive reflexes are seen in spastic CP.
3. Tremors and exaggerated posturing are seen in dyskinetic CP.
4. Hemiplegia and hypertonia are seen in spastic CP.

Answer to Question 2

2, 4
Explanation:
1. Macrosomia, not microsomia, increases the postpartum client's risk for early hemorrhage.
2. Grand multiparity is one risk factor for early postpartum hemorrhage.
3. Asian or Hispanic, not African American, heritage places the postpartum client at an increased risk for hemorrhage.
4. The use of oxytocin to augment, or induce, labor is a risk factor for early postpartum hemorrhage.
5. Obesity, not a history of anorexia nervosa, is a risk factor for early postpartum hemorrhage.
