Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale:
1. Abdominal ultrasounds are not invasive procedures, and do not require a consent form.
2. The recommendation is that the client have a full bladder to help elevate the uterus out of the pelvic cavity for better visualization.
3. Clients are placed in a supine position on the table.
4. Dietary intake is not relevant to the ultrasound.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale:
1. This is a true statement. Parents might believe there is something wrong if they are not taught about pseudomenstruation.
2. This is a true statement, and often a concern of parents.
3. Most pediatrician offices, HMOs, hospitals, and physician groups have a nurse line staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week to respond to questions and concerns of parents. When this service exists, parents should be made aware of it and provided with the phone number.
4. Each model of car seat is installed differently in different makes of car. Directions for car seats should be followed carefully. Car dealerships often offer a car seatinstallation instruction service. A car seat that is installed incorrectly can be more dangerous than not using a car seat at all.
