Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Identification of abnormal cells is done during the early portion of the pregnancy.
B The test is done in the early portion of the pregnancy if the metabolic disorder is
genetic.
C During the third trimester, amniocentesis is most often performed to determine
fetal lung maturity. In pregnancy-induced hypertension, preterm delivery may be
necessary because of changes in placental perfusion.
D Amniocentesis is done early in the pregnancy to do genetic studies and determine
the sex.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Encouraging Sitz baths is the correct approach because moist heat decreases inflammation and provides for comfort.
2. Positioning the client in a supine position would just increase the pressure on the hemorrhoids.
3. Avoiding stool softeners would put the client at risk for constipation and increase the likelihood of increased inflammation.
4. Decreasing fluid intake would put the client at risk for constipation and would be contraindicated in reducing inflammation.
