Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 2. If oligohydramnios occurs in the first part of pregnancy, there is a danger of fetal adhesions (one part of the fetus may adhere to another part).

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Even though a burger and fries are not the healthiest lunch, it is not the most critical statement for the nurse to address.
Rationale 2: Although this comment is cause for concern, as it suggests that the patient has many partners, it is not the most important issue.
Rationale 3: The nurse responds to this statement because of the danger of fetal alcohol syndrome.
Rationale 4: It is important for the patient to finish her education, but her education is not the nurse's first priority to address.
