Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Infant formula should not be given to mothers who are breastfeeding. Such gifts are associated with earlier cessation of breastfeeding. Baby-Friendly USA prohibits the distribution of any gift bags or formula to new mothers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The nurse should assess the uterus for atony. Uterine tone must be established to prevent excessive blood loss. The nurse may begin an IV infusion to restore circulatory volume, but this would not be the first action. Blood pressure is not a reliable indicator of impending shock from impending hemorrhage; assessing vital signs should not be the nurse's first action. The physician would be notified after the nurse completes the assessment of the woman.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes.
