Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Pregnant patients should not practice pushing during pregnancy because the possibility they could rupture membranes by doing this is too great. They can practice assuming a good position for pushing such as squatting, sitting upright, or leaning on a partner but should always be cautioned not to actually bear down and push. Bending over, pointing the toes, and breathing normally do not need to be avoided when practicing different positions to use when labor begins.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The diagnosis Anxiety related to absence of significant other is appropriate for the spouse who is in the military and is stationed somewhere out of the country. The spouse working the night shift does not mean that the spouse is not available to help the patient. Other children are not typically identified as support people for a pregnant patient. The patient's mother is recovering from a surgical procedure and most likely is not identified as being a support person for the pregnant patient.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
