Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Teaching the mother to ensure fluid intake is important because fever can cause dehydration. The child should be dressed lightly. There is no need to call the doctor unless the child's fever lasts more than 3 to 5 days or the fever is greater than 105F. A rapid rise to a high fever can cause a febrile convulsion, but it does not lead to brain damage.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Most pregnancy-related complications are preventable. The leading causes of pregnancy-related mortality are hemorrhage, infection, preeclampsia-eclampsia, obstructed labor, and unsafe abortion. Embolism is not a leading cause.
