Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A The incidence of multiple pregnancies with the use of these medications is
increased. The patient's concern is legitimate and should be discussed so that she
can make an informed decision.
B This statement is inaccurate and negates the patient's concerns.
C Ultrasound cannot ensure that a multiple pregnancy will not occur.
D The percentage quoted in this statement is inaccurate. Furthermore, the patient's
concern is discredited with a statement such as Don't worry.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A Determining the cause of an anaphylactic reaction is important to implement the
appropriate treatment, but the primary concern is the airway.
B Laryngospasms resulting in ineffective breathing patterns is a life-threatening
manifestation of anaphylaxis. The primary action is to assess airway patency,
respiratory rate and effort, level of consciousness, oxygen saturation, and urine
output.
C During anaphylaxis, the cardiac output is decreased.
D During the acute period of anaphylaxis, the nurse's primary concern is the
child's breathing. Positioning for comfort is not a primary concern during a
crisis.
