Answer to Question 1

A, F
Further clarification is needed if one of the participants responded constipation or uterine contractions every 40 minutes. Signs and symptoms requiring the woman to contact the physician would include diarrhea and uterine contractions every 10 to 15 minutes or less. Other important signs and symptoms would include dull back ache, menstrual-like cramping, vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pressure, and increase or change in vaginal discharge.

Answer to Question 2

B, E
Further teaching is needed if the students responded Mongolian spots or cutis marmorata. Both of these are normal findings. Findings which need further investigation include port wine stains, plethora, petechiae, and extensive lesions.
