During a prenatal exam, a client describes several psychosomatic symptoms and has several vague complaints. What could these behaviors indicate?
 
  1. Abuse
  2. Mental illness
  3. Depression
  4. Nothing, they are normal

Question 2

A patient is at 12 weeks' gestation with her first baby. She has cardiac disease, class III. She states that she had been taking sodium warfarin (Coumadin), but her physician changed her to heparin. She asks the nurse why this was done.
 
  The nurse's response should be: 1. Heparin may be given by mouth, while Coumadin must be injected.
  2. Heparin is safer because it does not cross the placenta.
  3. They are the same drug, but heparin is less expensive.
  4. Coumadin interferes with iron absorption in the intestines.

It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
