Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale:
1. Cervical effacement of 80 or more would define preterm labor.
2. A cervical change of at least 1 cm per hour would define preterm labor.
3. Four contractions in 20 minutes would define preterm labor.
4. Eight contractions in 1 hour does define a diagnosis of preterm labor.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse would recommend the meal containing meat and spinach greens because they are good sources of iron. Cheese is a protein source, and the rest of the meal does not contain iron sources. While egg yolks are sources of iron, but the rest of the meal does not contain iron sources.
