Over-the-counter (OTC) pregnancy tests usually rely on which technology to test for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)?
 
  a. Radioimmunoassay
  b. Radioreceptor assay
  c. Latex agglutination test
  d. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

Question 2

The parents of a newborn tell the nurse that their infant seems to enjoy being held and that holding him helps calm him when he cries. They ask the nurse why this is so. After explaining newborn behavior, the nurse assesses the parents' learning.
 
  Which statement indicates that teaching was effective? 1. Some babies are easier to deal with than others.
  2. We are lucky to have a baby with a calm disposition.
  3. Our baby spends more time in the active alert phase.
  4. Cuddliness is a social behavior that some babies have.

Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A The radioimmunoassay test is used to detect hCG at varying times in the early gestational period; however, it is not a feature of the OTC pregnancy test. OTC pregnancy tests use ELISA technology for its one-step, accurate results.
B The radioreceptor assay test is used to detect hCG at varying times in the early gestational period; however, it is not a feature of the OTC pregnancy test. OTC pregnancy tests use ELISA technology for its one-step, accurate results.
C The latex agglutination test is used to detect hCG at varying times in the early gestational period; however, it is not a feature of the OTC pregnancy test. OTC pregnancy tests use ELISA technology for its one-step, accurate results.
D ELISA technology is used in OTC pregnancy tests.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale:
1. Saying a baby is easier or more difficult to deal with is a judgment, not an assessment.
2. Describing an infant as having a calm disposition is a judgment, not an assessment.
3. The active alert phase of the sleepwake cycle is characterized by motor activity.
4. The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale looks at habituation, orientation, visual or auditory stimuli, and cuddliness or social behavior, among other things, and variations of each of these categories.
