Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: A pregnant woman who has been pregnant before is called a multigravida.
Rationale 2: A pregnant woman who has been pregnant before is called a multigravida.
Rationale 3: A pregnant woman who has been pregnant before is called a multigravida.
Rationale 4: Primigravida can be broken down into the Latin roots: primi (prime, or first) and gravida (pregnancy).

Answer to Question 2

Answer:1,3
Rationale: Assessing airway,breathing,and circulation and performing a rapid head-to-toe assessment are the priority nursing interventions. Asking the parents about organ donation is insensitive until the extent of the child's injuries is known.Recording insurance information is necessary but should never come before lifesaving assessment and intervention.Detail ed information about theaccident is helpful in determining the child's point of impact with the car and mechanism of injury,but this is not the initial priority.
