Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale:
1. The client does not have an established labor pattern, and analgesics given for pain relief could prolong labor or stop the process.
2. The client does not have an established labor pattern, and an epidural given for pain relief could prolong labor or stop the process.
3. A local anesthetic block is given during the delivery of the baby to numb the perineal area.
4. For this pattern of labor, nonpharmacological methods for pain relief should be suggested. These can include back rubs, showers, whirlpools, and the application of cool cloths.

Answer to Question 2

C
Clients with diabetes are at increased risk of heart disease due to vascular changes associated with diabetes. The important fact is that the client has not smoked for 20 years, the habit thus having little if any impact on her development of heart disease. Drinking two glasses of red wine every day or taking hormone replacement therapy for severe menopausal symptoms are not indicators of increased risk of heart disease.
