Answer to Question 1

D
The nursing diagnosis with the highest priority for the infant with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia is ineffective breathing pattern related to structural anomaly. A diaphragmatic hernia causes an ineffective breathing pattern, because it allows the abdominal organs to be displaced into the left side of the chest, decreasing lung capacity.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback
A The maternal blood supply to the placenta gradually stops with contractions.
B The exchange of oxygen and waste products decreases.
C During labor contractions, the maternal blood supply to the placenta gradually
stops as the spiral arteries supplying the intervillous space are compressed by the
contracting uterine muscle.
D The exchange of oxygen and waste products is affected by contractions.
