Answer to Question 1

C
Dorsiflexion of the foot stretches the leg muscle and relieves the painful muscle contraction.
Since she is prone to blood clots, massaging the affected leg muscle is contraindicated.
Pointing the toes will contract the muscle and not relieve the pain.
Warm packs can be used to relax the muscle, but more immediate relief is necessary, such as dorsiflexion of the foot.

Answer to Question 2

C
She has had two pregnancies (gravida 2); para refers to the outcome of the pregnancy rather than the number of infants from that pregnancy.
Para refers to the outcome of the pregnancy, not the number of infants from the pregnancy.
She is pregnant now, so that would make her a gravida 2 . She is para 1 because she had one pregnancy that progressed to the age of viability.
She is pregnant now and had one other pregnancy, making her gravida 2 . Para refers to the outcome of the pregnancy, not the number of infants.
