Answer to Question 1

B
Contractions can elevate the blood pressure, so the nurse should measure the blood pressure between contractions. Applying a blood pressure monitor would not be done unless the mother is high-risk for hypo- or hypertension. When the blood pressure is measured, the woman should be in the lateral position, but can be on either side.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. The child should be placed on calcium supplements to reduce the risk of osteopenia.
2. The child can't return to school for 612 months after an HSCT. In-hospital or in-home schooling is required.
3. Handwashing is essential to prevent the spread of infection.
4. The child and the family should be encouraged to get yearly influenza vaccinations.

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.
