Answer to Question 1

B
Magnesium sulfate is administered for pregnancy-induced hypertension to reduce the risk of seizures from cerebral irritability. Hyperreflexia (deep tendon reflexes above normal) is a symptom of cerebral irritability. If dosage of magnesium sulfate is effective, reflexes should decrease to normal or slightly below normal levels.

Answer to Question 2

A
In vitro fertilization is a procedure that is used to bypass blocked or absent fallopian tubes.
Gamete intrafallopian transfer is when the sperm and ova are placed in the fallopian tube.
Tubal embryo transfer places the conceptus into the fallopian tube.
Therapeutic insemination uses the partner's sperm or that of a donor and places it directly into the woman.
