A 35-year-old woman has an amniocentesis performed to find out whether her baby has a chromosome defect. Which statement by this patient indicates that she understands her situation?
 
  a. The doctor will tell me if I should have an abortion when the test results come
  back.
  b. I know support groups exist for parents who have a baby with birth defects, but
  we have plenty of insurance to cover what we need.
  c. When all the lab results come back, my husband and I will make a decision about
  the pregnancy.
  d. My mother must not find out about all this testing. If she does, she will think I'm
  having an abortion.

Question 2

The nurse has been providing nutritional guidance to the parents of an 18-month-old. The comment by a parent that would prompt the nurse to provide the parent with further education is:
 
  1. We allow our child to drink only pasteurized apple cider.
  2. We take the meat out of the freezer, and then allow it to thaw on the counter for two to three hours before cooking it thoroughly.
  3. We always wash our hands well before any food preparation.
  4. We use separate utensils for preparing raw meat and preparing fruits, vegetables, and other foods.

Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A The final decision about the future of the pregnancy lies with the patient only.
B Support groups are extremely important for parents of a baby with a defect.
Insurance will help cover expenses, but the defect also takes a toll on the
emotional, physical, and social aspects of the parents' lives.
C The final decision about genetic testing and the future of the pregnancy lies with
the patient. She will involve only those people whom she chooses in her
decisions.
D An amniocentesis is performed to detect chromosomal defects. Many women
have this done to prepare and educate themselves for the baby's arrival. The
woman should also be assured that her care is confidential.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Not serving unpasteurized apple cider helps prevent infection with foodborne pathogens.
2. Frozen meat should be thawed in the refrigerator prior to cooking. Allowing meat to sit out on a counter can cause the bacteria counts to increase quickly, and cooking the meat might not effectively destroy all of the bacteria.
3. Washing hands helps prevent infection with foodborne pathogens.
4. Using separate utensils for preparing raw meat and preparing fruits, vegetables, and other foods helps prevent infection with foodborne pathogens.

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.
