Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: If traveling by car, frequent stopping and walking for a few minutes would be acceptable.
Rationale 2: Plane travel is not the best, but if the patient gets up often on trip, walks, and does not cross her legs, it would work for short trips.
Rationale 3: In the latter half of pregnancy, frequent movement is recommended for pregnant women, both to increase comfort and to decrease venous pooling, which can lead to thrombophlebitis. The train allows the most movement for the traveling pregnant woman.
Rationale 4: Travel, in moderation is appropriate during the second half of pregnancy. It is best if the patient can move about periodically.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:4
Rationale:Iron overload can be a side effect of a hypertransfusion therapy. Deforaxamine (Desferal) is an iron-chelating drug,which binds excess iron so it can be excreted by the kidneys.It does not prevent blood-transfusion reactions, stimulate red-blood-cell production,or provide vitamin supplementation.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
