Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse should instruct the parents to compress the bulb syringe prior to insertion in the mouth, otherwise the air will be expelled in the mouth and potentially be swallowed. Compressing the bulb syringe following insertion into the nares will force the carbon dioxide in the nares back into the respiratory system. Inserting the bulb syringe approximately 2 to 4 inches into the mouth is too far.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: As the abdomen increases in girth during later pregnancy, changes in position might need to be utilized to achieve sexual activity.
1. This position may be uncomfortable during advance pregnancy, and is not recommended.
2. This position may be uncomfortable during advance pregnancy, and is not recommended.
3. This position may be uncomfortable during advance pregnancy, and is not recommended.
4. Side-lying reduces pressure on the abdomen, and avoids supine hypotension.
