Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Elastic stockings should be applied before lowering the legs in the morning.
B Elevating the legs at night may cause pressure on the diaphragm and increase
breathing problems.
C Elevating the feet and legs improves venous return and prevents venous stasis.
D Sitting with the legs crossed will decrease circulation in the legs and increase
venous stasis.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. An unplanned pregnancy at any age is often a life-changing event for the client.
2. Women over the age of 35 have a higher incidence of pregnancy complications.
3. Depression can occur, but we do not have enough client data to indicate that this client is depressed.
4. Self-esteem can be affected by a pregnancy at this age, as peers might be becoming grandparents, and if the client has other children, they might be nearing adulthood.
