Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 2. Hormonal contraception is the correct answer, as pregnancy can still be a concern, plus the estrogen will relieve other symptoms, such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Chest compressions are not initiated until the heart rate is less than 60 and respirations have been established.
Rationale 2: This would be appropriate if there were meconium-stained fluid. There is no information about the amniotic fluid in the question.
Rationale 3: When an infant is not breathing and has poor muscle tone, bag-and-mask ventilation is the appropriate resuscitation measure.
Rationale 4: Blood pressure is insignificant during resuscitation efforts. This infant needs respirations established.
