Answer to Question 1

2, 5
Explanation: 2. The woman using combined oral contraceptives should contact her healthcare provider if she develops speech problems.
5. The woman using combined oral contraceptives should contact her healthcare provider if she develops a breast lump.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale 1: A primary danger of general anesthesia is fetal depression, because the medication reaches the fetus in about 2 minutes. The depression is directly proportional to the depth and duration of anesthesia.
Rationale 2: There is poor fetal metabolism of the anesthesia agent, especially if the fetus is premature, which contraindicates its use in premature delivery.
Rationale 3: Uterine relaxation prevents uterine contraction after delivery, which increases maternal blood loss.
Rationale 4: Decreased gastric motility causes food to remain undigested.
Rationale 5: Itching of the face and neck is not associated with general anesthesia.
