Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. Analgesics do not take the place of preoperative sedation.
2. Because analgesics can last for more than 3 hours, the newborn is at risk for respiratory depression.
3. Local anesthetic is needed for an episiotomy.
4. Analgesics do not enhance uterine contractions.

Answer to Question 2

C
Two of every five deaths in adolescents are the result of motor vehicle accidents, the leading cause of accidental death in this age group. Homicide is the second leading cause of adolescent deaths. AIDS is not a leading cause of adolescent deaths. Suicide is the third leading cause of adolescent deaths.
