Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The patient is asking for information to reduce the symptoms of heart palpitations and leg cramps caused by pregnancy. This is health-seeking behavior. Heart palpitations and leg cramps are not severe complications of pregnancy. There is no evidence to suggest that the patient is at risk for an ineffective breathing pattern. There is also no evidence to support that the patient is experiencing impaired urinary elimination.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, E
Feedback
Correct Speak clearly and at a slightly slower speed than normal. Eliminate
background noise so the child can focus on what is being said. Use visual
aids to assist communication. Look directly at the child and have the
child's full attention before speaking.
Incorrect Do not speak loudly.
