Answer to Question 1

B, C, E
Feedback:
High-risk factors associated with preterm PROM include low socioeconomic status, multiple gestation, low body mass index, tobacco use, preterm labor history, placenta previa, abruptio placenta, urinary tract infection, vaginal bleeding at any time in pregnancy, cerclage, and amniocentesis.

Answer to Question 2

A, C
Feedback:
To help a patient recovering from a cesarean birth regain stamina and energy, the nurse should instruct the patient to drink at least six glasses of fluid each day and rest twice a day for at least one-half hour each time. There is no limit to social events; however, the patient should not be expected to be a social hostess during this time. The amount of weight lifted should be restricted to the weight of the new baby and not increased each day. The patient should accept help from family and friends for house cleaning and shopping. The patient should not structure the day so that these activities are completed.
