Answer to Question 1

B, C, E
Feedback:
Interventions to reduce the development of varicosities while pregnant include taking walk breaks, resting in the Sims position, and resting with the legs elevated on a foot stool. Jogging in place will not reduce the onset of varicosities and might harm the patient and fetus. The patient should increase the intake of vitamin C, and not vitamin D, because vitamin C strengthens vein walls.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
If the baby hears, urge the patient to talk to the infant as care is given so the baby is introduced to sounds and words. Some patients whose speech is severely affected by a hearing disorder are reluctant to speak to strangers. Assure the patient that the infant welcomes the sound of her voice and will quiet readily to the sound. Being spoken to and sung to during the first year is important for overall development. The patient should not avoid speaking to the newborn. The sound of the mother's voice is preferred over the sound of television or radio.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
