Answer to Question 1

B, D, E, F
In order to determine that client needs are being met and to determine goals and expected outcomes, the nurse would ask the client the following questions: is the client's pain relieved; does the client rest between contractions; has the client's labor pattern become effective; and are signs of infection present? Other questions to ask include: does the client understand what is happening and have the client and her support people coped with the process of labor and the associated interventions effectively?

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Fluid intake does not affect the drug's effectiveness.
2. Because phenytoin (Dilantin) can cause gingival hyperplasia, good dental hygiene should be encouraged.
3. Adequate intake of vitamin D should be encouraged
4. Phenytoin (Dilantin) should not be taken with dairy products.
