Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Providing magazine articles does not actively involve the patient in learning.
Rationale 2: Classroom lectures do not actively involve the patient in learning.
Rationale 3: Listening to audiotapes does not actively involve the patient in learning.
Rationale 4: Sensory involvement and active participation are two of the keys to adult learning, because they actively involve the patient in learning.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: These are symptoms of an amniotic fluid embolus and cor pulmonale.
Rationale 2: Placental abruption does not have any of these symptoms.
Rationale 3: Hemorrhage, but not the other symptoms, can be associated with DIC.
Rationale 4: Vaginal bleeding is not associated with congestive heart failure.
