Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A fitted pessary may be inserted into the vagina to support the uterus and hold it in the correct position. A pessary is not used for a cystocele, a rectocele, or stress urinary incontinence.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Thoughts of harm to oneself' or the infant are among the most serious symptoms of PPD and require immediate assessment and intervention. Although outbursts of anger, hygiene neglect, and loss of interest in her husband are attributable to PPD, the major concern would be the potential to harm herself or her infant.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
