Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Any previous uterine scar is a contraindication to ECV. The scar could rupture, leading to both fetal and maternal morbidity and to mortality.
Rationale 2: There is no contraindication to ECV for this patient.
Rationale 3: ECV is not attempted until 36 or 37 weeks. There is no contraindication for ECV for this patient.
Rationale 4: Although this patient is less likely to have a successful ECV this week if it was unsuccessful last week, there is no contraindication to attempting the procedure.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. Increasing numbers of U.S. women and their children are attempting to live on 23,550 or less, which is the current income that defines the poverty level for a family of four.
2. Currently, two-thirds of Americans living in poverty are women and children.
3. The majority of single parent-families are headed by women, and these families are four times more likely to live in poverty than families with two parents.
