Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Infants of drug-dependent women tend to be small for gestational age. If the patient took a drug close to birth, the infant may show withdrawal symptoms shortly after birth that include tremors, convulsions, high-pitched cry, and constant movement. Respiratory rate would be rapid and not sluggish.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Most women are asymptomatic and don't know they have been exposed to CMV. Prenatal screening for CMV infection is not routinely performed. Since there is no therapy that prevents or treats CMV infections, nurses are responsible for educating and supporting childbearing-age women at risk for CMV infection. Stressing the importance of good handwashing and use of sound hygiene practices can help to reduce transmission of the virus. There is no immunization for CMV. Antibody titer levels would be useful for identifying women at risk for rubella.
