Answer to Question 1

4
1. Incorrect. The woman may lose 0.5 to 1.5 kg in weight, caused by water loss resulting from electrolyte shifts that in turn are produced by changes in estrogen and progesterone le-vels.
2. Incorrect. When the fetus descends into the true pelvis (called lightening), the fundal height may decrease.
3. Incorrect. There may be a return of urinary frequency preceding labor.
4. Correct. Women speak of having a burst of energy prior to labor.

Answer to Question 2

4
1. Incorrect. Abdominal circumference is not measured after a gavage feeding.
2. Incorrect. VS may be obtained prior to feeding. However, more important is the infant's response to the feeding.
3. Incorrect. Some older infants may be learning to suck, but the important factor to docu-ment would be the infant's response to the feeding (including attempts to suck)
4. Correct. Documentation of a gavage feeding should include the size of the feeding tube, the amount and quality of the residual from the previous feeding, the type and quantity of the fluid instilled, and the infant's response to the procedure.
