Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse's best response would be, Infants are deficient in vitamin K at birth; we give one injection to prevent bleeding. This is a factual therapeutic response to the father's question. The nurse's response, This injection will protect your daughter from bleeding is not a sufficient response. In addition, bleeding may be caused by factors other than deficient vitamin K. The response, Vitamin K injections are routine; state law requires we give it to all infants. This does not address the father's question. Nurses always should have a physiological rationale for their actions. Although the statement, Vitamin K prevents bleeding; the injection is only necessary once after birth is factual, it is not the best response.

Answer to Question 2

B
Menorrhagia, or hypermenorrhea, refers to excessive menstrual bleeding. Metrorrhagia is bleeding of normal amount, but at irregular intervals. Polymenorrhea refers to frequent menstrual cycles of less than 21 days. Hypomenorrhea refers to decreased menstrual bleeding.
