Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Percussion of the chest is usually deferred.
B Palpation can be threatening to the child because it requires a significant amount
of physical contact. For this reason it is not the initial step in a cardiac
assessment.
C Auscultation requires touching the child and is not the initial step in a cardiac
assessment.
D The assessment should begin with the least threatening interventionsthe
history and inspection. Assessment progression includes inspection, auscultation,
and palpation because each step includes more touching.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback
A Nausea increases in a molar pregnancy because of the increased production of
hCG.

hypertension.
C The uterus in a hydatidiform molar pregnancy is often larger than would be
expected on the basis of the duration of the pregnancy.
D The history of bleeding is normally described as being brownish.
