Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Dyspnea and angina with mild exertion are not expected with class II heart disease even during pregnancy, but are symptoms seen in class IV heart disease.
Rationale 2: Cesarean birth is undertaken only for cardiac patients for fetal or maternal intrapartal indications, not for cardiac reasons alone.
Rationale 3: Lumbar epidural analgesia decreases the stress response during labor, while vacuum extraction or forceps decreases maternal pushing efforts. Both of these decrease stress on the heart during birth.
Rationale 4: 3+ pre-tibial edema is never an expected finding during pregnancy. Pulse over 100 and respiratory rate over 24 are indicators of cardiac decompensation.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 3. Telangiectatic nevi (stork bites) appear as pale pink or red spots and are frequently found on the eyelids, nose, lower occipital bone, and nape of the neck.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
